Aspen stands out among Colorado's ski resorts with its rich Western heritage and luxurious ambiance. Unlike other nearby ski villages, Aspen retains its historical essence as a former mining town, featuring a mix of modern and Victorian architecture. Influential designer Herbert Bayer played a vital role in preserving this character while embracing contemporary design. The town also reflects a vibrant culinary scene and a high-end après-ski culture, marked by luxury brands and exclusive venues like The St. Regis Aspen. Recent developments aim to balance sustainability with enhancing the skiing experience for all levels.
Herbert Bayer was insistent in protecting the Victorian architecture of Aspen and making it a town that embraces modern architecture, rather than imitating the past or mimicking Swiss ski villages.
The progressive celebration of design and architecture keeps Aspen dynamic, evident in the expansion of Ajax Mountain's expert-only Hero's terrain designed for sustainability and skier balance.
