What Is There to Do in Downtown Aspen?

Aspen, Colorado, is the crème de la crème of mountain towns, and it’s no secret as to why. Located in Colorado’s Rocky Mountains, adventure, luxury, and fresh air combine to create a place unlike anywhere else in the world. Plus, downtown Aspen is always bustling with energy. During your stay here, you’ll most likely find yourself exploring our town center. Here’s what you need to know. 

Start planning your Aspen getaway today when you access our complimentary Aspen Travel Guide. Inside, you’ll find a list of our favorite things to do and see in the area! 

What Is There to Do in Downtown Aspen?

Indulge in Some Retail Therapy

Did you know that there are more than 200 shops in downtown Aspen? Whether you’re looking to add some more designer digs to your closet or would rather shop at a local boutique, you can find it all here. From vintage items to unique gifts, the shops in Aspen don’t disappoint. Even if you don’t want to buy anything, the window displays are always spectacular. If you’re looking for something specific, we are more than happy to point you in the right direction!

Grab a Bite

We take dining seriously in Aspen. Whether you are looking to sit down at a high-end eatery or somewhere to grab a quick bite, downtown Aspen has it all. Head to one of our favorite bars to relax after a day out on the town, or have our concierge make reservations for you at one of Aspen’s top eateries. 

Visit Some Art Galleries

Aspen is known for its art galleries, and it is no wonder that many artists have been inspired by the mountain landscape. Stroll down the beautiful red and black brick sidewalks as you peek into gallery windows. You’ll see fine art, glass, and themed galleries that have every type of medium imaginable represented. 

Pedal Your Way Around

There are tons of great bike trails and paved routes around Aspen, but it’s always fun to hop on your bike and pedal your way around town. If your Aspen Signature Properties rental is close to town, you can just bike your way in! There are multiple bike rental options, and our concierge can make sure you have bikes available at your vacation home. 

Take a Stroll in Paepcke Park

Grab an ice cream cone at Paradise Bakery and make the six-minute walk to Paepcke Park. Located right off of Main Street, you have probably driven by this tiny piece of paradise many times. With shady trees and quaint landscaping, it’s a great place to stop at and relax during your downtown exploration. Plus, you can snap a photo at the iconic gazebo!

This Is Why You Need to Experience Aspen in September

As locals of Aspen, Colorado, we know what each season holds. Every month offers something new and exciting, but we have to admit that Aspen in September is one of our favorites. We refer to this time of year as our magical secret season, and when you stay with Aspen Signature Vacation Rentals during September, you’ll see why. 

Start planning your September getaway today when you access our complimentary Travel Guide.

5 Reasons Why You Need to Visit Aspen in September

1. The Fall Foliage 

Our fall foliage doesn’t last long, but it’s one of the most breathtaking sights you will ever see. Thousands of leaves transform from their usual green to brilliant shades of yellow and orange, and the mountain range looks as if it has been painted in gold. The leaves usually start changing during mid-September, and there are plenty of ways to see them. Hike through the mountains, go biking, or even take a leisurely drive. 

2. Perfect Weather 

September weather isn’t too cold or too hot– it’s just right. Temperatures average in the 60s and are even in the low 70s in the beginning of the month. This weather is perfect for exploring the town; all you need is a light jacket. Hop from restaurant to restaurant, go on a walk, or picnic amongst the picturesque views. 

3. Avoid the Crowds

Not many people think to come to Aspen during our secret season, so the town is quieter than it is during the peak months. This means that it is easier to get a reservation at restaurants, and our little piece of mountain paradise remains peaceful. Of course, we love the energy our peak season brings, too! 

4. So Many September Events

It’s always fun when an event comes to town! We keep our Upcoming Events page up to date so you always know what’s going on in Aspen and Snowmass. Some of our favorite September events to attend are: 

  • JAS Labor Day Experience– Enjoy some of the top names in music as they perform at this festival.
  • Snowmass Balloon Festival– Watch in awe as the sky fills with hot air balloons! 
  • Aspen Ruggerfest– Attend or compete in the world’s only all-age, full-contact rugby tournament. 

5. Outdoor Activities 

The weather paired with the gorgeous landscape make September one of the best times to enjoy the great outdoors in Aspen. You can enjoy nearly every outdoor adventure you can imagine in our area. Hike through the wilderness, go mountain biking, go offroading, and more. Our concierge can recommend and set you up with any outdoor activity you’d like!
