Aspen

Many describe their first visit to Aspen, Colorado, as simply "a case of chemistry." They experience an intense physical attraction and emotional pull.

The combination of the startling, jagged mountain horizon, the magnetic mix of Victorian and contemporary architecture, the allure of exciting ski runs and whitewater streams, the tempo of youth and vigor in the streets - all add up to an appeal of monumental proportions.

It has been said that Aspen is more a fantasy, a happening, an attitude, than an actual geographic location. Tucked into an intimate corner of a majestic Rocky Mountain valley some 8,000 feet above sea level, Aspen exists as a unique, natural paradise, filled with all the luscious, modern luxuries one could possibly desire.

An idyllic meeting of classic Victorian and Wild West, this storybook village wields beautiful hotels, gourmet food, world-class spas, and a collection of boutiques that rival those of Madison Avenue.

Surrounded by thousands of lush acres of alpine forest, cool rivers and streams and miles of trails that beckon to be explored, Aspen offers unparalleled experiences in nature - fly fishing, skiing, horseback riding, hiking, hot air ballooning, back-country tours, rafting and a myriad of other outdoor excursions.

Aspen has become the year-round cultural mecca of the Rockies. From the Aspen Music Festival to the gourmet delights of the Food and Wine Festival, top international musicians, artists, chefs and luminaries of architectural design as well as leaders of society, fashion, science and politics make Aspen a must-visit destination for the contemporary and jet-set.
