Spend Some Time at Smuggler’s Notch

Smugglers Notch is a paradise for winter sports enthusiasts. Whether you’re into skiing, snowboarding, or snow tubing, Smugg’s resort offers activities for all levels and snow-adventure preferences. The trails through the Notch itself provide an adventurous backdrop for snowshoeing or cross-country skiing, giving you intimate views of the natural beauty that winter brings.

However, if you’re not even up for a mountain adventure, take a laid-back drive through the area and enjoy the view. Few things can leave you quite as enamored as the snow-covered mountains and serener landscapes quietened by the chill in the air.

Visit One of the Nearby Breweries for a Craft Beer

After a day in the snow, nothing beats the warmth of a local brewery. Visit places like Red Leaf Gluten-Free Brewing or the Smugglers’ Notch Distillery in Jeffersonville for a beer or cocktail made with locally distilled spirits.

At either place, you can enjoy a craft beer made with local ingredients, so many places have beer on tap that perfectly captures Vermont’s unique seasonal flavors like maple, spiced apple, and snappy hops. Depending on where you go, you can cozy up by the fire, share stories of your day, and perhaps catch live music on certain nights.

Visit the Gates Farm Covered Bridge

The Gates Farm Covered Bridge is one of those charming spots in Cambridge that looks to be collected straight from the pages of a Norman Rockwell calendar when the snow falls. This bridge is the last of its kind to be built in the area with the integrated Burr arch and dates back to 1897. This historic spot is well worth a visit to see before heading south to the mountains if only to snap a few pictures.

Rest and Refuel at a Favorite Local Eatery

After a long day of exploring Smuggler’s Notch and the area, you will have no doubt worked up a healthy appetite. Whether you end your journey back in Cambridge or a little further south in Stowe, there’s no shortage of good food. Vermont’s eateries are known for their hearty, comforting food perfect for cold days.

Try out places like The Cupboard Deli for a delicatessen and bakery that feels like a step back in time, or The Village Tavern for classic American fare. The Burger Barn is another local favorite with mouthwatering burgers piled high with toppings of your choice. For something a little different, try the Taste of Texas BBQ. These establishments offer not just food but an experience, with a cozy, inviting environment perfect for unwinding after a long day of exploring.
