WEST END

Idyllic and inconspicuous, the West End is simply stunning, with surprises around every corner.

Welcome to the West End

The West End is a dream come true in Aspen. Its scenic streets are easily walkable and feature a variety of different architectural styles. From Victorian to Bauhaus, art deco to modern, brutalist, postmodern, and even contemporary homes are mixed together, lining the streets of the West End. There’s something for every taste in this neighborhood. With incredible attention to detail, no matter the architectural style, this neighborhood is known for its fine craftsmanship. In between the stunning architectural marvels are old-growth trees that provide shade and scenery, as well as plenty of green space.

The superlative West End soaks up the afternoon sun, being west enough to avoid the mountain shadow yet within walking distance of Aspen Core and all the downtown amenities, such as easy access to the lifts at Aspen Snowmass and high-end shopping and dining options.

Things to Do

One of the best things to do in the West End is skiing and riding. Aspen offers some of the best mountain terrain in the world across four peaks in the Aspen Snowmass system. The closest option to the West End is Aspen Mountain Ski Resort, featuring steep runs through the alpine forest, as well as beginner-groomed slopes. The resort also features five-star dining and shopping options and an elegant spa.

The Aspen Institute is a non-profit think tank devoted to curating the best and most innovative ideas for today’s problems. They host a variety of events and provide services for the community. One such event is the Aspen Ideas Festival, which gathers the best and brightest of our minds today for discussions and sharing of ideas. The event takes place in June each year and promotes free thinking and creativity.

The Aspen Music Festival and School hosts an amazing live music series throughout the year, including classical music and more modern stage performances. They also host a summer music festival each year when the snow melts.

Another great option for the warmer months in the West End is the Marolt Bike Path and Trail. This paved trail is perfect for runners, walkers, or cyclists and takes visitors around Aspen.
