Top 10 Reasons to Visit Aspen

1

Skiing/Snowboarding

With four world-class mountains within the area, Aspen boasts the most diverse selection of terrain and on-snow experiences in Colorado. The best part is: A ski pass is valid at all four of our mountains!

2

What if I Don't Ski?

From snowmobile tours and sleigh rides to snowshoeing and cross-country skiing, you don’t have to ski to enjoy Aspen. Insider tip: A “Foot Pass” is the perfect way to soak in the scenery atop Ajax without splurging on a full-price lift ticket.

3

Shopping and Art

You’ll see local boutiques, high-end designers, and trendy retailers throughout Aspen. And, art lovers flock here for our galleries. Don’t forget: Aspen’s alleyways and subterranean spaces are home to charming storefronts and gorgeous art galleries....

4

Special Events

Art, music, film, culinary festivals, and sporting events pack Aspen’s calendar year round. The FOOD & WINE Classic is an annual favorite. Returning this summer, the world’s top cyclists will ride to Aspen during the USA Pro Cycling Challenge.

5

Dining

Aspen’s restaurants offer a range of options for the epicurean. There’s a restaurant for every culinary craving. Locals’ favorite: Bar menus at Aspen’s restaurants offer a slightly varied and a bit more affordable version of the dining room’s menu. ...

6

Nightlife

Après is something that Aspenites (and visitors) take very seriously. Aspen’s post-ski parties and late-night revelry are legendary. Don’t be shy: Ask a local for the night’s hotspot, there’s a place-to-be 7 days a week.

7

Culture

Walter Paepcke—founder of the Aspen Institute and Aspen Skiing Co.—saw Aspen as a place to exercise your “mind, body and spirit.” Now, Aspen boasts an urban cultural calendar. Don’t miss: Aspen Ideas Fest, Jazz Aspen Snowmass & Aspen Film.

8

Summer

“I moved here for the winter, but stayed for the summer.” It’s a story told by longtime locals. The trails, rushing rivers and groves of spruce trees are just too good… Unforgettable: A lazy Sunday spent on the lawn at The Benedict Music Tent!

9

Hiking & Biking

Winding trails course through the mountains surrounding Aspen. Hikers and bikers relish the panoramas of the Rockies, the dense Aspen groves and secluded rivers accessed by our trail system. For cyclists: the road to the Maroon Bells is a favorite.

10

Fall & Spring

People love our winter and summer, but the crowds thin as the leaves start to turn. Autumn in Aspen is a photographer’s dream, and the quiet streets of Aspen are reminiscent of “the good ‘ole days.” Plus: springtime means blooming wild flowers.
