SKIING IN ASPEN

When most people think of Aspen they think of movie stars and celebrities but Aspen, in Colorado’s Rocky Mountains is so much more than that. It is one of the world’s best Ski Resorts and more affordable than you think.

Originally, it was inhabited by the Ute Indians, then in the late 1800s Aspen became a silver mining town with this wonderful history displayed through the buildings. There is a mix of old and new with nothing being built above 4 levels which makes for an intimate, historic and relaxed feel in the Town.  

Aspen is often described as “the soul of a mountain town with the buzz of a city.”

Aspen is warm, friendly and visually stunning, especially during the Winter Ski Season where streets are filled with snow and trees twinkling with fairy lights. Everything within the main town is pretty much with in walking distance.

Aspen town is at the base of Aspen Mountain (the locals call Ajax) so even if you are not a skier you can travel up the enclosed gondola to the restaurants and meet your friends or family for lunch or dinner.  Just so visually pleasing and so much fun.

There is a wonderful mix of cafes, restaurants and shops from your everyday stores to your high-end fashion boutiques; there really is something for everyone.

Aspen has a very easy and free shuttle service giving access to all the other surrounding mountains including Snowmass, Highlands and Buttermilk.  The Service runs every 15-20 minutes or so.

There are varied styles of accommodation and something to suit everyone with a range of prices. It will surprise you how reasonable a holiday it can be, especially if you avoid the peak times.

Aspen is so much more than “celebrity” it is one of the most fabulous ski towns in the USA with so many options to make your stay the most memorable and enjoyable for all budgets.
