Stowe

Set at the foot of Mount Mansfield, the tallest peak in the state, Stowe is best known for its incredible downhill and cross-country skiing. There's no denying that the area is an exceptionally beautiful wonderland during the winter months, but the other seasons are just as lovely, and summer brings the opportunity to hike and cycle while fall ushers in a colorful display of leaves. Most Stowe come here for the nature, but the 200-year-old resort town is worth a visit in and of itself, and it boasts a fantastic selection of locally owned shops, craft breweries, restaurants, and spas.
