The Rocky Mountains provide some of the best skiing opportunities not just in North America, but in the world, and nowhere is that more obvious than Colorado. And in the summer, the hiking trails can provide just as much activity. While Aspen is synonymous with apres-ski chic, there’s also plenty to do year-round. Whether you feel like relaxing or partying, you’ll find countless elegant restaurants and bars to try out after a day of strenuous activity. Aside from the sports, there’s always shopping, as well as walking tours that highlight the area’s history and natural beauty. During summer, when the town hosts the Aspen Music Festival, the landscape is transformed and turns lush and green. Aspen is also known for having blue skies throughout the year. Ski runs slope down the mountains across the valley from this lodge-inspired Aspen residence. The villa’s vaulted ceilings echo the shape of the hills, peaking over an open-concept great room. Walk 15 minutes or drive to shops, restaurants, art exhibitions, and winter festivals in downtown Aspen.
