Aspen is surrounded by breathtaking peaks and is home to renowned skiing and extreme sports. Famous for haute shopping, designer dining and celebrities on holiday, Aspen boasts an average of 300 days of sunshine annually.

The town of Aspen consists of three basic areas: downtown, the West End and the East End.

West End
The West End is a quiet residential nook known for its authentic Victorian homes. Walking through the streets, Shadow Mountain is in the background. Along with the residential homes, you will find a good number of the area hotels and condos scattered about the West End, especially on Main Street.  The lower West End is the home of the Aspen Meadows Conference Center and Hotel, which houses the Aspen Institute. This 40-acre spread is also home to the famous Music Tent, the Aspen Center for Physics, the Harris Concert Hall and the Paepcke Auditorium.

Downtown
Ski Magazine consistently touts downtown Aspen as the après ski capitol of North America. The Cooper Avenue, Hyman Avenue and Mill Street Pedestrian malls act as the centerpieces of the area. Each of the tree-lined streets features old Victorian buildings and brick retail units filled with hip shops and a variety of dining. The ski slopes of Aspen Mountain serve as the scenic background to downtown.

East End
Cross the Roaring Fork River and you have arrived at the East End. There so many trees here, that you’ll think you have stumbled into a residential forest. If you are looking to get away from the hubbub of downtown, the East End streets are a perfect place to stroll. You’ll also find the Aspen Club & Spa here.
