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.

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.
