Enjoy fresh and inventive soups, pizzas, unique salads and delicious sandwiches. It’s all served in the Sundeck’s bright and warm setting, defined by 30-foot ceilings and a huge rock fireplace. Listen to live bluegrass on Sundays or simply go for a short hike atop the mountain. Clearly marked trails lead to forest, meadows and more scenic views.

Prefer to dine al fresco? The outdoor grill will be flipping burgers and specials all summer with mountain views all around.

The Sundeck is also a popular special events venue in summer.


Summer Brunches

Three brunches to choose from, two mountains, one very good way to spend a weekend. Take the Silver Queen up Aspen Mountain, ride the Elk Camp Gondola, or earn it on foot or two wheels over at Snowmass.
