Stowe is an internationally known, 4-season resort destination in the Green Mountains of Vermont. We have been offering incomparable hospitality to our guests for over 200 years. For a "quaint little town" of only 4,300 people there's quite a lot going on here! Perhaps one of the most appealing things about Stowe is the fact that every business is locally owned and operated, often by a family that has long-time roots in Stowe.
Tourists and locals alike enjoy Stowe's world famous historic village, legendary fall foliage, and spectacular skiing. Stowe is the ski capital of the East. On the mountain, Stowe Mountain Resort is adding new trails, snowmaking and lifts - including a transfer lift between Mount Mansfield and Spruce Peak. They are currently undergoing a ten-year, $300 million revitalization plan. At the heart of it all is Spruce Peak at Stowe, an alpine community featuring a world-class hotel, performing arts center, spa, retail shops, restaurants and a new base lodge. Off mountain winter sports include snowshoeing, dog sledding, cross-country skiing, snowmobiling and sleigh rides. Stowe has incomparable accommodations for every budget and taste, with 60 lodging properties to choose from including B&B's and inns, full-service resorts and lodges/motels/motor inns,. And restaurants! With fifty to choose from, and cuisines that will please every palate (and pocketbook), you could dine for weeks.
Summer sports include mountain and road biking, hiking, horseback riding, fly fishing, canoeing and kayaking, glider soaring, balloon rides, swimming holes, inline skating, and more. Our internationally recognized 5.5 mile Stowe Recreation Path, a paved non-motorized greenway, has spots for picnicking and swimming as it meanders along the river which is crossed by 10 picturesque bridges.
Stowe is home to residents very committed to a healthy way of life, in mind, body and spirit. We hike our Green Mountains, bike our back roads and skate our recreation path. Visitors are quick to subscribe to this lifestyle and return home rejuvenated and stress-free. No matter what season, whether you are snow skiing or hiking our Green Mountains, Stowe offers the finest activities and beautiful scenery.
Stowe Area Association and Stoweflake Mountain Resort & Spa look forward to offering the incomparable Vermont hospitality to every attendee at this year's conference.
As the official motto of Vermont's own Ben and Jerry's asks, "If it's not fun, why do it?"
