Aspen has progressed from a mining town to ski resort to a multifaceted city with sumptuous accommodations, exciting events and delicious eats.
Aspen has also evolved into a world-recognized contemporary art venue with fine art galleries and the Aspen Art Museum. Additionally, a diverse and superior culinary scene will satiate the hungriest of appetites, including those of the annual Food & Wine Classic that brings the food world’s most influential players. Likewise, the nightlife is varied; there are clubs for those that want to see and be seen, and those for others who desire a laidback atmosphere where talented musicians play and mingle. The Aspen Music Festival is world class, but if its exercise you crave, the hiking and biking trails will please all from the beginner to expert.
No matter the season, the spectacular Rocky mountain scenery dominates the Aspen landscape with its splendid white-capped mountains and cerulean sky. Summer and fall are exquisite and festive with rafting and hiking jaunts available to explore. But, in the winter, downhill skiing and snowboarding, as the four glorious mountains—Snowmass, Aspen Mountain, Aspen Highlands and Buttermilk—are drenched in the "champagne" snow and open to the sport.
