Aspen Highlands avoids the spotlight and feels like the locals' secret — a place to push hard and play hard. Explore the hike-to terrain of the legendary Highland Bowl, then toast the day at Merry-Go-Round for something casual or Cloud Nine Alpine Bistro, where champagne flows as freely as the stories.
Aspen Highlands
Wild but always welcoming, Aspen Highlands is a mountain born different — whether you’re carving new lines on expert terrain, hiking the Bowl, or reaching new heights of revelry at Cloud Nine, this is a place where effort matters and stories stick.

What Makes Aspen Highlands Different
Aspen Highlands is known for its steep terrain, next-level views, and distinctly local feel, making it best suited for experienced skiers and riders. At its heart (and its peak) is Highland Bowl, where a hike to the summit rewards expert skiers with some of the most celebrated in-bounds terrain in Colorado. Beyond the turns, Highlands is home to the iconic Cloud Nine Alpine Bistro and sweeping views of the Maroon Bells — two experiences that considered a rite of passage for a visit to Aspen.
