Aspen

Unlike any Other Ski Mountain in America

Rising from the heart of Aspen township, Aspen Mountain is the epitome of skiing in North America. While it may evoke images of glitz and glamour, Aspen Colorado, holds a depth beyond its surface. Over time, the intertwined identities of Aspen Mountain and the city itself have been transformed from a once rustic silver mining community into one of the world’s most renowned cultural hubs. Today, Aspen is just as abundant with art, dining, and shopping as it once was with veins of silver ore.

Aspen presents an ideal family holiday destination, offering a diverse array of activities to suit the interests and skill levels of every member. With four magnificent mountains catering to skiers & snowboarders of all abilities, from novices mastering their first turns at Buttermilk or Snowmass to experts conquering the exhilarating Face of Bell on Aspen Mountain, Aspen truly offers something for everyone. Children are catered for with specialised ski and snowboard programs and activities, including childcare facilities from 3 months old and ski school from 3 years.

Beyond skiing, Aspen boasts an abundance of off-slope family activities, including ice skating at The Silver Circle Ice Rink, a horse-drawn sleigh ride to a log cabin for a memorable meal or an evening at the Wheeler Opera House. Meanwhile, parents can indulge in world-class dining, vibrant Après events such as Aspen X Beach Club and Cloud 9, as well as upscale shopping, creating cherished moments for the whole family amidst the stunning beauty of Aspen.

As the sun begins to set, you’ll find many great Après events on offer, from the chic Ajax Tavern at the base of Aspen Mountain to local and international DJ sets at the W Hotel rooftop, Aspen knows how to have a good time! Cloud 9 Alpine Bistro is an experience not to miss, where tables double as dance floors and ski boots as dance shoes and Belly Up Aspen offers world class performances in comedy and music.

With over 100 dining options ranging from refined fine dining to hearty farm-to-table fare, Aspen’s culinary scene celebrates locally sourced and organic ingredients, ensuring a feast for the senses.
