The Stowe / Smugglers' Notch Area of Vermont has majestic mountains, eye-catching fall foliage, and spectacular skiing. It is a four-season vacation destination on what some locals refer to as "the quiet side of the Mountain." Smugglers' Notch Resort is a winding pass at the foot of Mount Mansfield, Vermont's highest peak. The road through the Notch, Route 108, is one of two officially designated scenic highways in the state and only opens in summer.
Nestled between the mountain peaks is the historic village of Stowe. With beautiful accommodations such as those at the Stoweflake Mountain Resort & Spa, fantastic restaurants, village shops and spas, Stowe is a town for any season.
With two major ski resorts, the Stowe-Smugglers' Notch region remains a focal point of activity throughout the year. Many people come here to ski, snow shoe and ice climb. With both the Brewster River and the Lamoille Rivers swiftly moving alongside roads, the area is easily accessible and rich in places to hike, canoe, fish, bike, and relax.
