Aspen Travel Guide

The playground of the rich and famous, especially Hollywood stars, Aspen is a scenic ski resort in Northwest Colorado. The town of Aspen is nestled high in the Elk Mountains. Aspen- a charming mountain town wih its exuberant nightlife, art and culture, ski trails and exciting adventure summer sports, keeps travellers coming year after year.

Winter visitors need heavy wallets, as this celebrity town can be quite expensive during the ski season. In summer, prices come down, the scenery is great and you can enjoy the Aspen Music. But don’t let the glitter and glitz deter you as underneath it all there is a lot to be discovered – scenic mountains, powdery slopes and a historic town. As you can see Aspen has it all!

Earlier known as the ‘Shining Mountains’ because of the silver mining, Aspen was so renamed because of the presence of a number of aspen trees.
