7 of the Top Reasons to Visit Aspen

There’s Something to Do Year-Round

You’ll never run out of things to do in Aspen, no matter when you visit! From skiing in the winter to hiking in the summer, the activities change based on the season. You can come back over and over again and never do the same thing twice!

The Skiing (And Après Ski) Can’t Be Beaten

It’s no secret that Aspen is known for its winter sports. With four mountains to choose from, there’s plenty of space for every snow enthusiast to spread out. You’ll rarely be waiting in line to go down the mountain like at other ski destinations. Plus, there are runs for every level of skier. Afterward, you’re invited to enjoy some of the best après ski options in the country. 

It’s Exclusive

Aspen is known for its luxury– you get to choose the type of vacation you want. While there are casual dining options, there are also other restaurants that are so upscale they seem like they belong in a hub like New York City. 

There’s a Small-Town Feel

Contrary to our point above, Aspen still emits a small-town feel. If you spend a lot of time downtown, it’s not out of the ordinary to run into the same people over and over again. You can easily explore on foot or by bike and get to know the area over a few days. 

The Views Are Stunning

Gorgeous mountains mean gorgeous views! Whether you’re looking out over the slopes during the winter or have hiked to a scenic overlook in the summer, you won’t be disappointed. The views here are breathtaking. Local tip: Visit during the fall to see the mountain range light up in gorgeous fall colors!

You’ll Get Top-Notch Service Anywhere You Go

When you’re on vacation, you shouldn’t have to lift a finger. From our dedicated concierge team to the shops and restaurants in town, you’ll always find exceptional service. 

The Events are Incredible

If it seems like there is always something going on in Aspen, it’s because there is! Countless incredible events and festivals come to town all throughout the year. From the Winter X Games to the famous Food & Wine Classic, there is something for everyone.

4 Tips for the Best Aspen Spring Break

1. Hit the Slopes

Hitting the slopes is a must during your Aspen spring break! There are four mountains to choose from, so there’s plenty of room for all the skiers and snowboarders looking to get their last few runs in before the slopes close for the season. The mountains close mid-April, so it’s truly your last chance! 

2. Attend the Last of Ullr Nights

Ullr Nights are fun for the whole family. Every Friday until the end of March, you’re invited to Elk Camp to enjoy all sorts of snowy activities at night. Start by sledding, snowshoe tours, or snow biking before warming up by the fire with a cup of hot chocolate and s’mores. We love Ullr Nights because the attendees always have a great sense of camaraderie! 

3. Don’t Miss the Bud Light Spring Jam

The Bud Light Spring Jam celebrates the spring season with music, snow sports, and tons of fun! There are snowsport competitions, free concerts, and more. Another huge part of this event is the Helly Hansen 4 MTN Mission. This is best described as a scavenger hunt across the four mountains. You’ll have to follow clues to earn points along the way!

4. Take Advantage of Our Concierge

One of the many benefits of staying with Aspen Signature Properties is our concierge service.

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.
