Whether it’s skiing in the world-famous Rocky Mountains,
exploring the many towns, or appreciating the stunning natural beauty of the region, you will find your perfect adventure in Colorado.
From vast prairies to majestic mountains, from rushing rivers to desert landscapes, Colorado is unlike any other place. The highest state in the USA offers an incredible selection of wildlife and natural wonders, along with a cultural heritage of pioneers, narrow-gauge railroads, mining museums, dinosaur fossils, Native American art, and ancient dwellings carved into cliff sides. From ice climbing to soaking in hot springs, stays in historic hotels or trips through ghost towns, the legacy of the Colorado West is everywhere.
In addition to rodeos and tourist ranches, visitors will find an intense culinary scene, breweries, vineyards and wineries, and luxurious ski resorts that immerse visitors in alpine culture.
Aspen/Snowmass is a beautiful place any time of year. But it is especially beautiful in winter, when the pure white snow stretches to the horizon. Every year, ski and
snowboard enthusiasts from around the world enjoy the soft snow, but even for those who do not ski or snowboard, there are plenty of entertainment options!
The center of Aspen, at the foot of the mountains, is a lovely place to explore. You will find designer shops, various restaurants, and art galleries, including the stunning Aspen Art Museum.
Aspen is truly very chic, and the “rock star” vibe of the
mountains extends to the pedestrian area in the center, where restaurants are concentrated and the nightlife becomes even more romantic when the trees are lit up like at Christmas. The center of Aspen will not disappoint shopping lovers – quite the opposite. With sophisticated stores in addition to charming designer boutiques, the options are almost endless. There are also many art galleries showcasing works by local artists.
A single ticket gives access to the four mountains: take the gondola to the summit and admire the spectacular natural landscape while enjoying a delicious meal at the top of the mountains. One of the restaurants is the Cliffhouse, which offers magnificent panoramic views of Colorado’s famous peaks and the Maroon Creek Valley.
To learn more about the local environment, visit the Aspen Center for Environmental Studies, a nature reserve that is open year-round. The friendly staff helps and instructs visitors about the local forests and wildlife. Take the opportunity to pet a snake and see a rescued golden eagle up close. Of course, don’t miss visiting the city of Denver, as it is a must for food lovers, and in Colorado Springs, the historic and luxurious resort The Broadmoor.
