About the Restaurant
Our newest on-mountain restaurant is an awe-inspiring place to take a breather from the mountain.
Boasting a graceful, curved roof and stone columns, Elk Camp takes its inspiration from the surrounding Rocky Mountains. Massive windows in the great room bring the beauty of nature indoors. You can find a cozy spot by the fireplace, or set up base camp in the bar area for relaxation and celebration. Elk Camp will be the hub of day and nighttime activity in Snowmass.
Oh, and then there’s the food. Diners will be able to take their pick of organic and locally harvested menu items, such as roasted chicken or pork loin served on a French baguette, or wild mushroom pizza with fontina cheese and white truffle oil. There will also be a wide selection of comfort food and health conscious items to please every member of the family.
For Events and Groups
The Elk Camp lodge holds 250 guests in the great room alone. Additional flexible space is available in the separate bar area and the outdoor patio space. For event planners looking for an environmentally friendly meeting space in the Snowmass or Aspen area, Elk Camp is slated to be LEED certified and will implement advanced heating systems to beat local energy codes by an estimated 30 percent. Call 970-300-7681 or email for more information.
