Vermont winter

Fall in love with winter in a handsome little town brimming with cold-weather adventures and amenities.

This post covers how to get to Stowe, staying at the Von Trapp Lodge, where to eat, and the best winter weekend activities in Vermont.

Although Burlington isn't the capital of Vermont, this earthy-crunchy, uber-hip, progressive city seems to steal the spotlight within the state. With hundreds of restaurants, micro-breweries and live music venues, there's a bustling food and entertainment scene, and with Lake Champlain and the Green Mountains nearby, there are tons of outdoor activities to enjoy as well.

Vermont in winter is a season of frosty charm and snowy adventures. Glide through the pristine landscape on a cross-country skiing excursion, or take a thrilling dog sledding ride through the woods. Discover the magic of small-town holiday markets, ice fishing on frozen lakes, and the quiet splendor of nature walks under a blanket of snow. Vermont's winter is an invitation to slow down and savor the season.
