Located in one of the most breath-taking valleys in Colorado, Aspen retains its wide-open mountain charm and mixes it with a range of pleasures, including terrific honky-tonk bars, fabulous four-star dining and eclectic and upscale shopping, guaranteed to please everyone from cowhands to the most sophisticated traveler.
And then there's the skiing and snowboarding!
Aspen offers not one, but four mountains totaling over 5000 acres of skiable terrain, which range from the beguiling beginner slopes of Buttermilk to the double-black diamond smorgasbord of Aspen Mountain.
Whatever your speed and appetite, Aspen has an adventure for you.
And speaking of appetites, summers in Aspen kick off with Food & Wine Magazine's Aspen Classic, hosting a pack of world-renowned chefs and wine connoisseurs for a weekend of tastings, talks and demonstrations. There's something always going on in Aspen, from Jazz to movies to great people watching. Add that to the host of other spectacular Rocky Mountain excursions and outdoor activities and Aspen might be the best mountain town in the West.
