Locale

Home to hundreds of exciting places, Aspen features locales with endless outdoor recreational opportunities, breathtaking scenery, unique wildlife, historical sites and much more.

The city is surrounded by mountain and wilderness areas on three sides: Red Mountain to the north, Smuggler Mountain to the east, and Aspen Mountain to the south. Originally founded as a silver mining camp, Aspen is the perfect skiing destination to visit as there is year-round sunshine, incredible snowfall and fantastic terrain.
