Our favorite hike, right down the road from our house! This is where we went on our third date, where we got engaged, and will set the backdrop to our ceremony. It is a relatively short (about 3 miles total) but steep and challenging hike. There are two trail options. The Pinnacle Meadows trailhead is shorter and a bit easier.
A fun mountain biking trail network right in the town of Stowe!
Go for a walk or bike ride along the Stowe rec path! This beautiful, 5 mile path goes right through the center of town. You can even hop off the trail to grab a bite or a drink!
Walk along Main Street and check out the shops.
Take a drive through scenic Smuggler's Notch, a windy, mountain pass road through a state park. These will be some of your best foliage views and there are a bunch of places to stop and hike along the way.
Casual atmosphere, solid food, excellent cocktails.
One of our favorite restaurants in Stowe. A bit on the pricier side, but the meals are creative and unique and they source a lot locally. The cocktails are amazing and, whatever you do, do not skip the banana pudding!
Stop by the famous Alchemist Brewery, home of the Heady Topper, right here in Stowe! They sell some brews here that you can't find elsewhere and have a great atmosphere, outdoor games, etc.
A DELICIOUS natural wine bar and market serving the best wines from small producers. They offer free wine tastings on Thursdays from 4:00-7:00!
A great place for some heady local cider, food, and live music.
