Just a short (but steep!) hike up from the Trapp Family Lodge is the Trapp Family Chapel, a simple stone building deep in the woods. The Chapel was built by Werner von Trapp, who escaped with his family from Nazi-occupied Austria to Vermont. After arriving here, he enlisted in the US Army in 1943 and served in the 10th Mountain Division, an elite ski force that fought in the Alps. Werner swore that if he survived the war, he would build a chapel on his family's property in Vermont. After safely returning home, he made good on his promise and between 1945-48 completed this chapel. This peaceful site is a must-see for anyone in the area and interested in the history of the von Trapp family.
