ADVENTURE ~ Family Activities
One week at Stowe can fuel a lifetime of memories.
If the family that plays together, stays together, than there are plenty of opportunities to stay together at Stowe Mountain Lodge. Regardless of the season, or the endeavor, Stowe offers families a rare environment to relish each other’s company. Indoors or out, it’s the kind of enjoyment that has made Stowe a world-class destination for generations. World-class skiing, golf, hiking, biking, swimming, site seeing, shopping and just plain relaxing in our Lodge will transform your family vacation into one you’ll never forget.

- Enroll in our kids club and participate in mountain scavenger hunts, nature walks, visits to local farms and cheesemakers, kids cooking classes, swimming pool time, family mountain safaris and nature scrapbooking.
