Where is Vermont Exactly?

Vermont, it’s that state up near Canada right? Yup, it sure is! And we LOVE visitors. So how do you find us? Located in a town with NO traffic lights, it is easy to get here!

It's not hard to find Stowe. Since the ski area shares its name with the town, there's no confusion about where you're headed, and the "Ski capital of the East" is an easy, enjoyable trip from just about anywhere.

Located in north-central Vermont, we're 40 minutes from Vermont's largest airport, 15 minutes from Interstate 89, and 15 minutes from the train station. Clear signs, light traffic, well-maintained roads, and pretty countryside make it a pleasant drive from the airport or other northeastern locations..

Traveling by car or bus Guests from the north, south, east, or west can take major interstates or highways almost to Stowe's doorstep. Check Vermont road conditions.
