von Trapp Brewing

Experience authentic, Austrian-style lagers at one of Vermont's largest breweries. The von Trapp Brewing Bierhall Restaurant sits just below Trapp Family Lodge, boasting a fleet of crisp, traditionally made brews, along with a menu of thoughtfully curated dishes that will transport you to the European countryside.  

In 2010, Johannes von Trapp made his dream of brewing American versions of the beers he enjoyed near his ancestral Austrian home a reality, starting in the Kaffeehaus basement and expanding to the 30,000 sq.ft. facility we operate out of today. 

Von Trapp Brewing's Rolec Brew House is capable of producing over 36,000 barrels of award-winning brews a year, while also hosting smaller contract brewers in the area. Outside of the Bierhall and Trapp Family Lodge, you can find our beers on tap and in cans throughout New England, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Tennessee, Maryland, Virginia, Michigan, and Colorado, with more markets being announced soon. 

Head over to the Brewery and Bierhall during your stay and enjoy the traditional tastes of Austria! Brewery tours, available on Tuesdays at 6pm and Saturdays at 1pm, are included with your resort fee, but fill up fast! Book your tickets and make a reservation below.

Slayton Pasture Cabin

If you plan on going cross-country skiing or snowshoeing during your stay with us, be sure to make your way to Slayton Pasture Cabin to replenish your energy with multiple hot soups & beverages as well as snacks and desserts being served. From the ski center, it’s a 3-mile journey to this gem nestled in the woods on a knoll behind the Lodge. (Slayton Pasture Cabin is cash only for food due to its remote location)

The journey to Slayton Pasture Cabin may be long, but it’s worth it. The cabin is currently open 7 days a week.

This rustic and cozy log cabin is the perfect private rendezvous spot for lunch with family and friends. Take a seat by the hearth of our roaring fireplace and savor some homemade soups and sandwiches.

Then enjoy a hot chocolate, which is the perfect way to warm up after a long day of skiing. Slayton Pasture Cabin is closed for the season, and we look forward to its reopening at the end of 2024!
