Things to Do in Aspen, CO

Cloud Nine Alpine Bistro

(970) 923-8715

At 10,900 feet, Cloud Nine Alpine Bistro at Aspen Highlands Ski Resort is the epitome of on-mountain dining. You’ll feel as though you escaped to the Swiss Alps during lunch service as you dine on fondue, raclette and streudel. Once après ski starts, you’ll be popping champagne and dancing on tables.

Dining at Cloud Nine is by reservation only, 30 days in advance for lunch. Ski-in ski-out only. There are lunch seatings at 12 p.m. and 2 p.m. For dinner reservations, reach the restaurant by snowcat.

Clark’s Oyster Bar

(970) 710-2546

If you’re in the mood for amazing, fresh seafood, Clark’s Oyster Bar is your spot. Originally out of Austin, TX, Clark’s opened its downtown Aspen location in the summer of 2018. The restaurant is located in the old Little Annie’s on East Hyman Avenue.

Besides oysters, of course, we recommend the snapper ceviche, clams, freshly baked sourdough, and smashed potatoes. For those who prefer turf to surf, there is a phenomenal burger.
