Things To Do
Lunch Recommendations
THE CUPBOARD DELI - Looks like a gas station (and is a gas station) but also secretly a delish sandwich spot. Highly recommend for casual lunch close to the resort! SKI VILLAGES - If you're looking for something a bit more posh - or a bite post-hike - check out any of the nearby ski villages for a variety of food options. Smuggler's Notch, Mount Mansfield, and Stowe are all within 20min of Sterling Ridge Resort.
Gondola Skyride
Don't want to hike to see views? No problem, take this shortcut to the peak!
Vermont Canoe & Kayak
There are a few boats available at Sterling Ridge's pond, but if you're feeling up for more adventure, check out VT Canoe & Kayak for a river trip!
Smugglers Notch
Drive through Smugg's Notch on your way in or out of town! Named for its reputation as a trail used to illegally trade goods & cattle with Canada to bypass trade bans in the 1800s. And after the smugglers who used the passage to bring alcohol from Canada during the Prohibition Era. Basically, this has always been a place where Canadians & Americans came together to party...
Ben & Jerry's Factor Tour
Tour of the OG ice cream factory!
von Trapp Family Lodge & Resort
The hills are alive with the Sound of Music ('s shooting location)! Take a tour or just enjoy the views.
Cold Hollow Cider Mill
Stop for cider & donuts on your way in or out of VT!
Palmer Lane Maple
Iconic maple candy & creemee ice cream shop (a Vermont staple!) Bonus: this is on Old Pump Road where Joe famously grew up (and also the band members of Phish)
