8 Reasons Why You Should Book Your Winter Aspen Getaway Now

Winter in Aspen

As the last of the fall leaves drop and flakes start to fall, it's time to trade our hiking boots for ski boots. Check out 8 reasons why you should book a winter getaway:

Apres in Aspen
  1.  Winter Après 

Après is a ski town tradition; Aspen uniquely blends laid-back fun with luxury. From cozy lounges to lively, sun-soaked patios, there are a range of ways to experience après in Aspen. 

 

  1. Holiday Charm

The holiday season is one of the most magical times of year in Aspen. From holiday lights to celebrations, dinners, events, and more it's surely a season not to be missed.

 

  1. Wintersköl™

Wintersköl™, Aspen’s annual toast to winter, returns from December 11-14, 2025. Dating back to 1951, this multi-day festival offers a full lineup of exciting events, from retro ski films and Soupsköl™ to fireworks and a torchlight parade. 

Sleigh ride Aspen
  1. Adventure Dining 

Looking to add some extra excitement to your dining experience? Take a sleigh ride, cross-country ski, or snowshoe to Pine Creek Cookhouse for an alpine-inspired meal alongside breathtaking views.

 

  1. Winter Arts and Culture Events

Winter arts and culture events extend the excitement beyond the slopes. Comedy shows, film screenings, live music, and more offer a range of experiences throughout the season.

 

  1. Uphilling

A great way to earn your turns, uphilling offers a rewarding workout and different way to experience the slopes. Take in the beautiful mountain views, refuel with a mountaintop meal, and enjoy a well-earned run to the bottom.

Ice Skating in Aspen
  1. Winter Family Fun

From the Aspen Recreation Center to family-friendly guided tours and dining options, Aspen offers a variety of activities that the whole family can enjoy.

 

  1. One Pass, Four Mountains

Renowned for skiing, Aspen is home to four mountains, Aspen Mountain, Snowmass, Aspen Highlands, and Buttermilk, each with their own unique character. All four mountains are in close proximity to each other and are conveniently accessible via the free bus system.
