Rising above this iconic town, Aspen Mountain is one of its four fantastic ski areas. There are local lifts in town, while efficient buses shuttle you to the other ski areas on your pass.

For challenging days, Aspen Mountain and Highlands are our favourites, while the intermediate paradise of Snowmass is the largest area. Buttermilk is best for beginners, and for snowboarders, the X Games terrain parks are fantastic. Offering such a huge variety, Aspen Snowmass ski holidays are great for longer breaks, and the slopes are noticeably quiet.

Stay in the pretty town for authentic Victorian buildings, posh boutiques and a huge range of dining options. The nightlife and après bars are excellent too. Such as Ajax Tavern at the bottom of the slopes, serving refined bar food and cocktails, perfect for a sophisticated après or J Bar, an iconic Aspen bar with a lively atmosphere and delicious speciality cocktails. And while Aspen has a glitzy reputation, this is also a locals’ town with down-to-earth options for smaller budgets.

If you're looking for ski-in ski-out accommodation and a more relaxing pace, we recommend staying at the purpose-built Snowmass Village. Nightlife is low-key key but there are some great local bars and restaurants and the village base has been significantly developed in the past few seasons, including one of our favourite hotels, the Limelight Snowmass.

Aspen Snowmass has more than enough to keep you busy, or you could experience more of the region on a Colorado Ski Safari - ask our Colorado experts to tell you more.

"Aspen is the prettiest, most exclusive ski town in North America while Snowmass offers purpose-built, ski-in ski-out convenience that's perfect for families."

Accommodation in Aspen Snowmass

Aspen has a high standard of hotel accommodation, including well-known luxury properties like The Little Nell. We also like the small boutique hotels in town, while condos can be great value for groups. An exclusive resort, it’s worth taking advantage of the early booking offers. The majority of Snowmass accommodation is either ski-in ski-out or a very short walk from the slopes. There are some excellent value hotels, as well as high-quality condos and luxury retreats to rival those in Aspen.

Customer Reviews

What our customers say about Aspen Snowmass.

Huge ski area, extremely well organised with minimal or no lift queues, reliable snow, good free bus transfers between the 4 resorts - Aspen, Highlands, Buttermilk and Snowmass

Best skiing at Snowmass, extensive range of blacks. Long shot is the best run anywhere! Shuttle service good and convenient but usually busy. Downtown Aspen most interesting place to stay but pricey!

We have been to Aspen Snowmass several times and it is our favourite ski resort. There is a vast range of skiing available and transport between the four mountains is easy and frequent.
