"As you drive up the winding road, theres a very good reason the welcoming sign includes family in the Trapp Family Lodge. From the warm and friendly staff that makes you feel at home, to wide variety of activity and events sure to please everyone in your group, Trapp has it all.

Just before dinner we decided to pop across the street from the Main Lodge to the Fitness Center for a quick dip in the indoor pool. Honestly, I wasnt sure we were going to make it to dinner!
