The historic town of Aspen sits at the base of Aspen Mountain (Ajax), with Aspen Highlands and Buttermilk to the west, and Snowmass, the largest of the four mountains, located 16 km further out. The compact town is highly walkable, and most accommodation, from historic hotels to contemporary ski homes, are a short stroll or shuttle ride from the lifts and the vibrant town centre.
Downtown Aspen (Aspen Core):
For those seeking to be in the heart of the action, Aspen Core is ideal. Here, you’ll find a selection of luxury ski chalets, stylish penthouses, and contemporary homes just steps from designer boutiques, gourmet restaurants, and lively après-ski venues. Staying in the downtown area ensures convenience and immersion in Aspen’s sophisticated social scene.

If ski-in/ski-out access is a priority, Snowmass provides the ultimate convenience. Its expansive terrain and family-friendly runs make it a favourite for both groups and multigenerational holidays. Exclusive Aspen chalets in Snowmass combine alpine charm with modern amenities, creating the perfect base for a luxury ski holiday.
Red Mountain & McClain Flats:
Red Mountain, often called “Billionaire Mountain,” offers Aspen luxury chalets with panoramic views and utmost privacy while remaining close to downtown amenities. McClain Flats is a sweeping residential area, perfect for those who want serene, high-end accommodation amid the Rockies. The western slopes also host private chalets tucked away in peaceful, scenic neighbourhoods, ideal for guests seeking tranquillity and luxury.
Jet-setter and celebrity-favorite hotspot Aspen is beloved for many reasons, from its four different ski resorts that combine to offer some of the most interesting terrain in Colorado, to its extremely luxurious dining, hotel and après scene.
What Sets Aspen Apart?
The Town:
From its Victorian mining town origins to its evolution as a world-class ski resort,
Aspen ski resort caters to a wide range of interests. Aspen ski holidays are enriched by both challenging slopes and a sophisticated town life. The resort is home to four distinct mountains (Aspen Mountain (Ajax), Aspen Highlands, Buttermilk, and Snowmass),
offering something for every skill level, from gentle beginner slopes to steep expert runs.
Evenings in Aspen transform the town into a glamorous hub. High-end shopping, gourmet dining, and stylish bars create a vibrant social scene for visitors to enjoy. With over 100 restaurants and bars, Aspen’s culinary landscape rivals its ski offerings, making it perfect for food lovers and après-ski enthusiasts.
Beyond skiing, Aspen offers numerous winter and summer activities. Guests can try snow biking, tubing, snowshoe tours, and ice skating in winter, while summer provides mountain biking, hiking, golf, and horse riding in the scenic Roaring Fork Valley.
What sets Aspen apart for me isn’t just the extensive ski terrain or the great hotels and restaurants —it’s the town’s history and culture that gives it a unique vibe. There's a depth to Aspen that goes beyond skiing, making it a place I always want to return to.

Open from mid-November to late April, Aspen combines four varied mountains to provide over 5000 acres of ski terrain. Covered with one lift pass, there is plenty of terrain to keep you entertained during your ski holiday to Aspen.
Located right at the foot of the town, Aspen Mountain—commonly referred to as Ajax—is the resort’s iconic centrepiece. It’s known for its steep and challenging terrain, making it a favourite among advanced skiers. Ajax’s slopes also carry a unique historical significance. Many of the short, steep double-black chutes on the mountain, like Zaugg Dump, Last Dollar, and Short Snort, are former “dump” runs. These trails were built on the steep slopes where miners once dug into the mountain, leaving behind piles of shale and debris. Today, these runs offer thrilling descents with a touch of mining history.
While Ajax is certainly challenging, Aspen Highlands is considered the most adventurous mountain of the four. It’s famous for its Highland Bowl, which offers some of the most demanding in-bounds skiing in the U.S. The Bowl’s steep, ungroomed runs attract expert skiers looking for the ultimate adrenaline rush. However, the mountain also has plenty of intermediate and beginner terrain, making it accessible to a wide range of skiers.
On the other side of the spectrum is Buttermilk, a beginner’s paradise. With its long, gentle trails, Buttermilk is the ideal mountain for novice skiers and cautious intermediates. The mountain is home to The Hideout, a dedicated centre for children’s ski lessons. Here, children can enjoy interactive play areas, lunch facilities, and a gentle slope for practising their first turns.
But Buttermilk isn’t just for beginners—it also hosts the annual Winter X Games, drawing crowds to watch some of the world’s best freestyle skiers and snowboarders compete in extreme sports events.
Snowmass, the largest of the four mountains, is a resort in itself. Bigger than the other three mountains combined, Snowmass offers an incredible variety of terrain, with something for everyone. From beginner slopes to expert tree runs, Snowmass is the ultimate mountain for families and groups with mixed abilities. In contrast to the grid-like structure of Aspen’s streets, Snowmass is a purpose-built town with a pedestrianised mall, making it easy to navigate. Ski-in/ski-out accommodation is plentiful, allowing you to step right onto the slopes from your hotel.
Best Bars & Restaurants in Aspen
From classic dining experiences to sophisticated slopeside options, Aspen has it all. Your first stop must be Ajax Tavern, home of the original truffle fries! Another classic dining option is the Cloud Nine Alpine Bistro, where champagne is sprayed as often as it is sipped! Indulge in the Raclette or decadent Gruyere fondue.
For a long lunch on the slopes in Snowmass, the cosy Cabin hits the spot whilst Sundeck offers panoramic views of the Elk Mountains and Highland Bowl on Aspen Mountain. For something a little different, check out the Mongolian grill at Cliffhouse on Buttermilk. If you have a sweet tooth,Bonnie's with its homemade apple strudel and enormous flapjacks are a must.
If you are after something a little more refined, Element 47 at The Little Nell has an impressive wine programme and a locally sourced contemporary menu. Or head to Bosq, a Michelin-star restaurant offering seasonally inspired cooking that focuses on foraging, fermenting and local farms. Another recommendation for a special occasion is Prospect at the Hotel Jerome with its unique take on Colorado cuisine.
Known for having one of the best après-ski scenes in North America, Aspen is home to numerous bars where you can sample a cocktail with friends or dance to DJs in the mountains. In Snowmass, Sam's is a great spot to enjoy a glass of rose or an Italian wine whilst Elk Camp has plenty of spacious seating areas, both indoors and out, to enjoy a tipple or two.
On Aspen Mountain, both Sundeck and Ajax Tavern are popular spots to soak up the sunshine whilst Little Nell's wine bar offers a lively spot to swap stories of your day. Merry Go Round and Cloud Nine are the places to go on Aspen Highlands whilst The Backyard at Buttermilk Mountain Lodge is the perfect place to enjoy a cocktail and some tasty bites, and on Saturday there's a DJ too.
Beyond the slopes, Venga Venga, Home Town BBQ , WET Deck and Highlands Alehouse are some of the favoured spots.
Top Activities & Events in Aspen
While skiing is undoubtedly Aspen’s main draw, the town offers plenty of non-skiing activities for you to enjoy. Stroll through the streets and take in the historic architecture, explore the town’s art galleries, or visit the Aspen Art Museum, which regularly features contemporary exhibitions. The town’s compact layout is perfect for leisurely strolls, where you’ll encounter a mix of luxury boutiques, high-end designer stores, and unique local shops. Whether you're looking to pick up a souvenir or simply enjoy some window shopping, wandering through Aspen’s chic shopping district provides an opportunity to soak in the town’s glamorous atmosphere.
For a more active way to explore the town, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing offer a peaceful alternative to the faster-paced downhill slopes. The Aspen Nordic Center has trails for all skill levels, whether you want to try cross-country skiing for the first time or explore deeper into the wilderness on snowshoes. Or why not explore the White River National Forest on a snowmobile tour led by experienced guides? Alternatively, enjoy a horse-drawn sleigh or carriage ride to a favourite restaurant.
If you prefer to stay closer to town, ice skating at the Silver Circle Ice Rink is a fun, family-friendly option. Located in the heart of Aspen, the rink is an iconic winter attraction. Afterwards, warm up with a hot chocolate at one of the nearby cafés. For relaxation, many luxury hotels in Aspen, such as the St. Regis and Hotel Jerome, feature renowned spas where you can unwind with a massage, detox in a steam room, or enjoy a hot tub with panoramic views of the snowy peaks
One of the highlights of the winter season is the Winter X Games, hosted annually at Buttermilk Mountain. This extreme sports event attracts some of the world’s best athletes, competing in freestyle skiing, snowboarding, and snowmobiling.
For those interested in Aspen’s lively cultural scene, the Aspen Music Festival is a summer event that attracts classical music lovers from around the world. Featuring performances by world-renowned musicians, orchestras, and ensembles, the festival offers a rich cultural experience set against the backdrop of Aspen’s stunning natural beauty.
Similarly, the Food & Wine Classic, held every June, brings together celebrity chefs, renowned winemakers, and culinary enthusiasts for a weekend of tastings, demonstrations, and panel discussions.
Summer in Aspen
Although Aspen is best known as a winter destination, it’s equally stunning during the summer months. When the snow melts, the mountains reveal lush greenery, making it a haven for hiking, mountain biking, and outdoor enthusiasts.
Families can enjoy the Breathtaker Alpine Coaster and the Treeline Trial Challenge Course at the Lost Forest, whilst the Snowmass Bike Park offers 25 miles of purpose-built, diverse trails for bikers.
One of the must-see sights in summer is the Maroon Bells. Located south of Aspen at the end of Maroon Creek Road, these duel 14,000-foot mountains rise above a picturesque lake.
Reservations are required to visit Maroon Bells by car or shuttle, or you can rent an e-bike and cruise up Maroon Creek Road. There is a 1.7-mile nature loop that goes around the lake. Another popular hike is the 1.8-mile hike (3.6 miles roundtrip) to Crater Lake.
Music enthusiasts can enjoy plenty of concerts throughout the summer from the Snowmass Concert Series to Jazz Aspen Snowmass. For lovers of culture, there's plenty to explore from the Wheeler/Stallard Museum in downtown to the Ranching Museum.
