Stowe has an international reputation as being the premier winter destination in New England, but in fact, is a year-round apex for activities and fun for the whole family.
When the leaves turn, what better destination for golf at the two area golf courses - the Stowe Country Club, only 5 minutes from Topnotch, or the Country Club of Vermont, just a 20 minute ride away. The fall foliage invites hikers and bikers to marvel at the scenery from paths through the woods or more challenging mountain trails.
Spring and summer beckon horseback rides through flowering meadows or fly-fishing in the local rivers and streams.
When the snow falls, recreational opportunities abound. There is no better place than Stowe for cross-country skiing, back country skiing, snowmobile tours, sleigh rides, ice skating, ice fishing, and skiing and snowboarding. The Annual Winter Carnival attracts visitors from all over the world.
