Aspen, the Pearl of the United States

The city of Aspen, Colorado, is the best ski resort and one of the prestigious and fashionable places for recreation in the United States. Every American dreams at least once to visit one of the favorite resorts of the richest people in America, who consider it mandatory to buy real estate here. Aspen is commonly referred to as "Beverly Hills in Colorado." This fact is incredibly attractive to tourists, because many people are not averse to meeting some billionaire or Hollywood star in an everyday setting. For example, near the city, in the valley, there is a chic ranch - the property of actor Kevin Costner. Also the owners of real estate in Aspen are Michael Douglas, Martina Navratilova, Jack Nicholson and Don Johnson. Nevertheless, Aspen himself actively struggles with the image assigned to him of the sparkling and magical El Dorado ski, inaccessible to ordinary visitors. Accommodation in it is no more expensive than in other much less well-known ski resorts, and a variety of entertainment will envy even large cities of the world. The atmosphere of American westerns reigns in the city, and low-rise houses are built in the style of the Victorian era.

Aspen is a year-round resort, offering various sports depending on the season. From November to April, it attracts fans of mountain and cross-country skiing, snowboarding, skating and snowshoeing. Sled dogs with a loud bark will take you through the picturesque surroundings of the Roaring Fork valley, where, in fact, the settlement itself is located. In the evening, you can have dinner and relax in one of the many cafes and restaurants, go to the cinema or visit the art gallery. In your free time, you can go shopping, explore local museums, watch a performance or walk around the reserve. The word "aspen" means one of the types of poplar, which grows in abundance in these parts. Residents of the town constantly hold various festivals and carnivals.

In the rest of the year, the resort offers golf and tennis, balloon flights, rafting, horseback riding, cycling, hiking in the mountains and parachuting down the mountain.

360 sunny days a year attract professionals and ski lovers from all over the world. Depending on the level of difficulty, skiers are offered a choice of 4 tracks: Aspen Mountain, Aspen Highlands, Buttermilk and Snowmass. These 4 ski areas have a single ski pass. Free message zones connect all ski areas. There are no easy slopes on Aspen Mountain, there is an expanse for well-skating skiers and experts - complex steep slopes, steep turns, bumps, skating in Christmas trees. By the difficulty of skiing, Aspen Mountain is approaching the Aspen Highlands, from the slopes of which the best panorama of Aspen opens. Mid-level skiers will enjoy skiing in Snowmass (more than 70% of runs of medium difficulty). The longest route in Aspen is 8.2 km. Beginners are recommended to immediately go to Buttermilk. Even wide calm slopes are perfect for relaxing with children. For skiing off the tracks, the slopes of the Aspen Highlands are good.
