The world-famous Aspen offers a truly unique experience for all outdoor activities lovers such as biking and skiing, thanks to its location in the remote area of the Rocky Mountains and the Roaring Fork River. Aspen is at an elevation of approximately 2,400 m above sea level. The name of the city has its origins from the aspen trees that grew in abundance back in the late 19th century, the first decade of its existence.

Aspen started its renaissance back in the late 1940s, the founders Walter and Elizabeth Paepcke introduced skiing to the town.
