2025 Pitkin County Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in April)

Located at Pitkin County Colorado. Aspen Snowmass is stunning! This place is definitely one of the highlights of our family #wintergetaway in USA. For non-skier family like ours, there are quite a few things you can do without costing you arms and legs. The sky cab from Snowmass base village to Snowmass mall is free. Take a free bus from Snowmass base village to Aspen downtown! Try the ice skating ⛸️… it was free and our girls loved it. The collective just across the Limelight Hotel offers indoor activities for kids and families. And try the Crepe Shack as it was delicious treat!

Aspen, nestled in the heart of Colorado’s Rocky Mountains, offers a luxurious blend of world-class skiing and upscale resort experiences. Famous for its powdery slopes and vibrant cultural scene, Aspen is a winter wonderland that attracts ski enthusiasts and celebrities alike. The adventure starts on Aspen Mountain, with its vast range of runs catering to both beginners and advanced skiers. The views from the slopes are breathtaking, featuring sprawling mountain landscapes and pristine, snow-covered forests. For a truly unique experience, I recommend trying the night skiing sessions offered during peak season, where the trails are lit to create a mesmerizing evening glide down the mountain. Beyond skiing, Aspen’s downtown area is a hub of activity with high-end shopping, gourmet restaurants, and lively après-ski bars. Dining here is an experience in itself, with options ranging from cozy alpine lodges serving traditional Swiss fondue to innovative eateries offering farm-to-table delicacies. For those visiting, staying in one of the ski-in, ski-out lodges provides easy access to the mountains and a luxurious place to relax after a day on the slopes. Booking your accommodations and ski passes in advance is highly recommended, especially during the busy winter months. Aspen isn’t just about the slopes; its annual events like the Aspen Music Festival and the Food & Wine Classic add cultural depth to any visit, making it a premier destination not just for ski lovers but for anyone seeking a combination of outdoor adventure and refined leisure. #AspenAdventures #SkiingSeason #MountainLuxury #WinterWonderland #GourmetGetaway #TravelColorado #SlopeStyles #mytravelhacks#historicallandmarks#localguides

My husband and I celebrated our 5 year wedding anniversary in Aspen CO. I decided to hike the Maroon Bells Pass over to Crested Butte and trained for almost 2 months at the gym. The hike was definitely not for beginners but it lit a fire in me to want to try again and again. The scenery on the trail and knowing on a small percentage of our world have seen what I have seen!! How exciting and flying with Trip.com allowed us more time to explore rather than driving from Texas.
