Places for kids to hideout and meet some new friends!
Have a fine dinner experience and jump aboard a Snowcat.
With their dynamic dining scenes, Aspen and Snowmass Village could thrill even the most ardent foodies for weeks on end. But two of the most iconic dinner spots in the area aren’t in town — they’re up on the mountain.
Board a snowcat and embark on a dining experience you won’t soon forget at Snowmass’ Lynn Britt Cabin and Aspen Highlands’ Cloud Nine Alpine Bistro.
ULLR NIGHTS:
Every Friday night during the peak of winter season, we honor of the Norse God of Snow — Ullr — with Ullr Nights, a nighttime, winter wonderland party at Elk Camp on Snowmass. Friends and family take an evening gondola ride up to Elk Camp for outdoor winter activities such as tubing, riding the new Breathtaker Alpine Coaster, snowbiking, s’mores and hot chocolate by the bonfire. Dance to live music and enjoy an a la carte culinary celebration sure to please any palate. After playing in the snow, kids can warm up inside with fun activities and entertainment available downstairs in The Tent.
Purchase an Activities Pass to access tubing and the Breathtaker Alpine Coaster. Passes are available for two sessions, from 5:30pm – 7:30pm and 6:30pm – 8:30pm and give access to both activities during that time. $54 per person, any age and Ullr Nights is included in the cost of the Activities Pass. Reservations are strongly encouraged and waivers are required to be signed by participants, parents or guardians.
