Summer in Aspen

Beyond Ski Season

At Chalet Alpina, summer unfolds at the base of Aspen Mountain. Downtown Aspen is within walking distance, while hiking, mountain trails, cool alpine air, dining, culture, and the energy of Aspen are all close by. It is a location that connects mountain mornings with evenings in town.

Summer Access to the Mountain

From Chalet Alpina, summer days can begin directly on Aspen Mountain. Hiking trails, mountain activities, and planned Lift One access will connect the property with the mountain during the summer season.

The Rhythm of Summer in Aspen

Aspen summers have a rhythm of their own: cool mountain mornings, sun-filled afternoons, and long evenings that invite you to stay outside. Hiking, cycling, outdoor dining, music, arts, and time on the mountain give the season a character distinctly different from winter.

Aspen in Full Season

Summer brings Aspen's cultural calendar fully to life, with outdoor concerts, music festivals, exhibitions, performances, and events throughout the season. From music and the arts to dining and community gatherings, summer offers another way to experience Aspen beyond the mountain.

A Life Outdoors

Golf, tennis, pickleball, fly-fishing, cycling, and mountain biking are all part of an Aspen summer. From Chalet Alpina, days can be as active or as unhurried as you choose.

Golf, tennis, pickleball, fly-fishing, cycling, and mountain biking are all part of an Aspen summer. From a morning on the river to an afternoon on the course, days can be as active — or as unhurried — as you choose.

Walk Into Town

From Chalet Alpina, downtown Aspen is just a short walk away. Restaurants, outdoor dining, shopping, galleries, and cultural events are close at hand, while Aspen Mountain remains at your door.

Mountain at your door. Aspen within easy reach.
