Activities

Learn More

Aspen is a true year-round playground with more to explore than just the ski slopes. Snowshoe through quiet alpine forests, take a snowmobile ride to the Maroon Bells, or try winter fly fishing for a unique mountain twist. In the warmer months, hike wildflower-lined trails, raft the Roaring Fork River, or catch views from a hot air balloon ride. If you’re looking for a cultural moment, the Aspen Art Museum and guided nature walks offer a slower pace with plenty of inspiration.

Best Time to Visit

Aspen shines in every season. For world-class skiing and snowy magic, visit from December to March. Come spring, catch sunny slopes and smaller crowds. In summer, wildflowers, hiking trails, and cultural festivals take center stage. And don’t overlook fall—golden aspens turn the town into a dreamy autumn postcard.
