NATIONAL PUBLICATIONS RECOGNIZE STOWE VERMONT AS ONE IN 1,000 AND ONE IN 100
Featured in 1,000 Places to See and LIFE Magazine 100 Places to See

Stowe is the only Vermont location spotlighted in the just-released “100 Places to See in Your Lifetime: America the Beautiful” from the Editors of LIFE Magazine. A two-page color spread highlighting a brilliant autumn photo by Stowe photographer Don Landwehrle entices the reader to this 213-year-old town in the Green Mountains of Vermont. Editor Robert Sullivan has been coming to Stowe since he was a child in the ‘60’s. He states that one of the reasons that Stowe was chosen is because: “It's pulled off the amazing trick of becoming famous and a destination, yet remained true to its essence: It is what it is, a New England village of great charm and a day-to-day that features village rhythms”.

Not to be outdone by “100 Places to See…” Stowe is also one in “1,000 Places To See in the USA & Canada Before You Die”, by Patricia Schultz (Workman Press), which was released on June 7. Three-and-a-half years ago, Schultz also authored the phenomenally successful “1,000 Places to See Before You Die”, in which Stowe also had a presence, and which has spent a staggering 162 weeks, and still counting, on the New York Times bestseller list. Stowe properties featured include the Trapp Family Lodge, Topnotch Resort & Spa, Stone Hill Inn, the Green Mountain Club and the Long Trail, and Stowe Mountain Resort.
“Stowe for me has it all - it is the quintessential New England town, boasting unmatched skiing possibilities for all levels - and lots of horizontal opportunities for the Nordic inclined, says Schultz.. “An added bonus was discovering that it is every bit as beautiful year-round and not just during the winter months alone. Hotel choice is also important to me - I am a big hotel buff, from the small and romantic to the large and luxurious - and Stowe is handsomely endowed in this department”.

Located at the foot of Mt Mansfield, Vermont’s highest peak, the quintessential village of Stowe, Vermont has been hosting travelers for over 200 years. A true four-season destination of international renown, Stowe offers endless opportunities to enjoy the great outdoors—hiking, mountain and road biking, golf, kayaking/canoeing, tennis—and of course world-class skiing and snowboarding. Stowe offers over 70 unique and boutique shops, 40 restaurants, and almost 50 different lodging establishments ranging from full service resort spas to quaint bed and breakfasts. A real rarity in today’s world, chain stores and hotels and fast-food restaurants are practically non-existent in Stowe. For more information, please call 1-800-GO-STOWE or visit www.gostowe.com
