Aspen

Aspen is one of Colorado's favorite year-round resort areas.

During any season, an Aspen vacation is a great choice. Aspen is world renowned for its skiing with Aspen Mountain rising majestically from town and is one of four ski areas in the valley. Snowmass, Aspen Highlands and Buttermilk mountains all lie within 12 miles of town. These areas offer some of the best skiing and snowboarding in the world.

While downhill skiing and snowboarding are Aspen's best known recreational activities, there is so much more to do in the winter months. Back-country skiing, snowmobiling, snowshoeing, winter hut trips, ice skating, dog-sledding, sleigh rides, hot-air balloon rides, and snow camping opportunities in this region rival any in the country.

If you can imagine an adventure, you can find it in Aspen. Add the nightlife, musical and culinary events and festivals, shopping and incredible scenery and you have an unforgettable vacation destination!
