Should I Vacation in Aspen or Vail?

Should I vacation in Aspen or Vail? During your search for the perfect mountain getaway, you may be deciding between Aspen or Vail. Both of these Colorado towns have a lot to offer, but there are a few differences to keep in mind when planning your vacation. Of course, we are partial to Aspen! At Aspen Signature Vacation Rentals, we make sure you have everything you need for the getaway of a lifetime. 

Take a look at our complimentary Aspen Travel Guide for a peek into all that Aspen can offer. Once you make your decision, you can use it to plan your stay!

What Is the Difference Between Vail and Aspen?

While Vail and Aspen are generally similar, there are a few differences that set them apart from each other. Both mountain towns have great views, an amazing culinary scene, and lots of things to do, but there are a few things to keep in mind during the planning process. 

One Mountain Versus Four Mountains

Should I vacation in Aspen or Vail? The main difference between Vail and Aspen is the number of mountains. Vail has one large mountain while Aspen has four smaller mountains. 

Vail is unique because of its back bowls, a seven-mile-wide ski slope. If you love untamed skiing, this is a great opportunity. Aspen gives you the choice of four different mountains, and each offers something different. They’re all connected by free shuttles, so getting around is easy. Plus, Snowmass Mountain is home to the Long Shot, the longest run in the state. 

Aspen Is Less Crowded During the Winter

Because Vail is so close to Denver, many Denver residents use Vail as their winter respite. Many Denverites travel the two and a half hours to Vail on the weekends, so the slopes are much more crowded. Because there are so many mountains and trails in Aspen, there are rarely any lines to start skiing. 

The Town

If you’re looking for a quaint downtown area, Aspen is the way to go. Vail doesn’t exactly have a downtown area, although there are a few boutiques, restaurants, and shops for you to stroll through. Aspen, however, has a bustling city center. The town was constructed in the 1870s, so the history adds to its charm. The opera house is one of the oldest buildings in town, and there are many things to do besides skiing here!

There are four mountains in Aspen: Snowmass, Aspen Mountain, Aspen Highlands, and Buttermilk. You can explore them all during your stay with Aspen Signature Vacation Rentals! Planning an Aspen getaway? Make sure you get a copy of our complimentary Travel Guide to start planning your stay!

What You Need to Know About the Four Mountains in Aspen

Aspen Mountain 

Aspen Mountain, also known as Ajax by the locals, is famous for its ski scene. Experience steep glades, bumps, and incredible views. The terrain is pretty complex here, so we always recommend this mountain for intermediate and expert skiers. It’s a great place to be challenged! 

After a day out on the slopes, head to one of the many restaurants at the mountain. Bonnie’s is a classic, go-to spot, and Sundeck is perfect for après ski. 

Aspen Highlands

If you’re a local, you probably ski at Aspen Highlands. Here, you’ll find plenty of expert terrains, groomed cruisers, and stunning views of the famous Maroon Bells. If you prefer backcountry skiing, the Highland Bowl is for you! Hike about 30 minutes up to the summit for a 2,500-foot descent. It’s the perfect way to get away from it all– there are no lift lines, and barely anyone is on these nature-made slopes! 

Buttermilk Mountain

If you’re familiar with the Winter X Games, you have probably heard of Buttermilk Mountain. This mountain is perfect for beginners, families, and those that prefer a more leisurely ski experience. The gently rolling trails are easy enough for those just starting out, and you’ll love knowing you’re skiing exactly where some of the most famous athletes in winter sports have competed. Head to Cliffhouse for lunch to fuel up with some healthy eats before getting back out on the slopes!

Snowmass Mountain

If you want to explore Snowmass, make sure you plan for at least a few days! Snowmass has the most vertical feet in the entire country– there’s no way you can take advantage of all 4,406 vertical feet in just one day. Plus, there are 91 trails and 21 chairlifts! We love Snowmass Mountain because you’ll never run out of things to explore. Sam’s is conveniently located on top of Sam’s Knob on Snowmass, and it’s the perfect place for après ski drinks and bites.

Deciding the Best Time to Visit Aspen

When deciding the best time to visit Aspen, there are a few factors to take into account. What are you looking to do, what would you like to see, and what weather do you prefer? Each season offers something new, so you might even want to stay with Aspen Signature Properties multiple times throughout the year. 

Aspen in the Winter

We will start with the most popular time to visit Aspen: the winter. Once the ski season starts, visitors come flooding in to hit the slopes! Nearly 200 inches of snowfall keep the powder fresh, and winter sport aficionados can’t stay away. Plus, there are tons of winter events you won’t want to miss! With our ski in, ski out rentals, you can have the winter getaway of a lifetime. 

You might have to combat some crowds, but we love the energy our mountain town gets when it’s full of visitors! Work around the crowds when you take advantage of our concierge service. Your expert concierge can help you secure ski passes, dinner reservations, event tickets, and more! 

Aspen in the Spring

Spring is the least crowded season in Aspen. If you’re looking to get away without any crowds, spring is the time to do it. Temperatures range from the 20s to 60s, so you never know what you’re going to get. However, if you bundle up, you can enjoy some outdoor activities such as biking or hiking. This is also a very rainy season, so you will need to check the weather before deciding on which activities you’d like to enjoy during your vacation. Aspen Signature Properties Tip: Some businesses close during the spring to enjoy some time off before summer. Feel free to ask us what is open! 

Aspen in the Summer

Aspen is full of life during the summer. The snow melts and brings bright, vibrant greenery back into our landscape. With weather averaging in the 70s, it’s the perfect time to enjoy the outdoors. See our gorgeous scenery when you explore the area– there are so many things to do in the summer! If you talk to enough Aspen locals and regulars, you might just hear a common theme; they came for the winter skiing but stayed for the Colorado summer. 

Aspen in the Fall: The Off-Season

We like to think of fall as our magical secret season. Many people write this off as the off-season, but we disagree. Fall can be an amazing time of year with mild weather, beautiful foliage, and a dusting of snow on the high peaks. You can get better deals on airfare, lodging, and food with no summer crowds to have to share it with. Aspen regains its small-town feel in the off-season, a quieter time when the true essence of the town reveals itself. Here are four reasons why we love fall! 

  • No One Can Predict the Weather– No one can predict the weather, but fall usually has some beautiful days! There’s an old saying, “If you don’t like the weather in Colorado, wait five minutes.” That’s especially true in the fall! Warm, sunny days can give way to blistering cold nights and the occasional snowstorm. However, you can usually find plenty of nice days to enjoy the outdoors. 
  • Goodbye, Crowds!– Fewer people means Aspen retains the small-town feel that makes it special, and fall is the perfect time to experience it. It also means that you’re more likely to get a table at your favorite restaurant or a drink in a less crowded bar.
  • Fall Foliage, of Course– There are few things more beautiful than seeing Aspen during peak foliage season. Our fall colors transform the mountains into brilliant shades of gold, so make sure you bring a camera! 
  • The Party Never Stops– Summer is packed full of events, so it’s nice to take a break for a little while. In October, it all starts right back up! The Aspen Art Museum remains open, the Harvest Party fundraising event for the Aspen Center for Environmental Studies is the go-to event for the season, and The Belly Up continues to offer live music all month long.
