Ride in Stowe

Stowe is everyone's idea of Vermont thanks to its covered bridge, white-spired church, worn-out farms, and ski trails that descend the mountainside. It is one of the best things to do in Vermont. It is also the town that best exemplifies the heyday of Vermont's early ski industry, a tradition that is examined here in the Vermont Ski Museum. It is located at the foot of Mt. Mansfield and in the center of the state's snow belt.

Even though a rope tow was erected in 1937 and passionate skiers had ascended the mountain long before that, the first chairlift was opened in 1940, which is when things truly took off. You'll discover stores and boutiques, art galleries, food options, and lodging of various kinds; it's not just about skiing. The Helen Day Art Center displays artwork by Vermont-based artists. The 5.3-mile Stowe Recreation Path is a paved multi-use path through meadows and woods alongside the river with stunning views of Mt. Mansfield. You can rent bicycles to ride along it, or you can stroll or skate along it. Stowe Mountain Resort is still one of New England's top ski resorts, and in the summer and fall, tourists can ride the gondola that brings skiers to the summit for additional views. This place offers activities throughout the year.
