Aspen is nestled in the awe-inspiring Rocky Mountains. Here, visitors can enjoy renowned arts and culture, exceptional cuisine, world-class accommodations and countless outdoor pursuits - all the makings for an extraordinary vacation experience.
In the late 1940s, skiing arrived in Aspen as did modern day founders Walter and Elizabeth Paepcke. With a vision for the community that focused on Mind, Body and Spirit, the Paepckes helped Aspen begin a civic and cultural renaissance - one that continues to this day. We call it "The Aspen Idea."
