Aspen

Aspen, Colorado.  The name has become synonymous with wealth and luxury, and the town has become known for celebrity sightings and glamour.  From high end boutique shops, luxury spas, and five star hotels to world class cuisine, Aspen is prepared to offer star treatment to its visitors.

Not planning on rubbing elbows with the rich and famous?  There are tons of things to do in Aspen, which embraces Colorado’s outdoor lifestyle, with plenty of opportunities to hike, bike, fish, raft, or simply enjoy a scenic drive.  Just west of Aspen lies Independence Pass, one of the most stunning – and nerve-wracking – drives in Colorado.  Southwest of Aspen, the Maroon Bells provide the perfect photo op.

Winter visitors revel in Aspen’s four lift-serviced mountains – Aspen Mountain, Aspen Highlands, Snowmass, and Buttermilk where the skiing and snowboarding can range from family friendly to extreme, expert terrain.  Aspen’s signature event for the last decade has been the Winter X Games, where the world’s top freestyle winter athletes compete in events ranging from superpipe to boardercross.  Even if you’re not a pro, Aspen’s “Power of Four” means over 5500 acres of skiing and riding.

Whether it's a winter ski retreat, a summer backpacking trip, or a star-studded getaway, an Aspen vacation is sure to provide the perfect escape from day to day life.
