On-Mountain Fine Dining at Aspen Snowmass
Whether you’re seeking soul-warming soup with a hot cocktail, authentic Italian pasta with the perfect wine pairing, Alps-inspired dishes in the high alpine, or lively après parties with unbeatable views, mountain dining at Aspen Snowmass sets the standard for hospitality.
Alpin Room
Tucked away in the heart of Snowmass, the Alpin Room offers a thoughtful, handcrafted reimagination of Alsatian home cooking at high elevation. Head Chef Emily Oyer’s fresh take on Alps-inspired cuisine offers subtle yet flavorful dishes—proving that comfort food can still take you beyond your comfort zone. Floor-to-ceiling windows let in natural light and the menu is a modern take on classic dishes found in the mountains of Switzerland, Austria, and particularly Alsace, France—think chicken cordon bleu, fondue—and yes, very good wine.
