Aspen's family-friendly neighbor — bigger mountain, smaller ego
Snowmass Village sits nine miles west of Aspen and operates on a completely different frequency. While Aspen trades on celebrity and Victorian charm, Snowmass was purpose-built for skiing and has evolved into one of Colorado's best family destinations. The mountain itself is massive — 3,332 acres, making it larger than Aspen Mountain — with terrain that ranges from gentle cruisers to expert-only chutes. The village base area was redesigned in recent years with the Limelight Hotel, the Treehouse Kids' Adventure Center, and a pedestrian mall that finally gives Snowmass a heartbeat off the slopes.
Modern ski-in/ski-out hotel with heated pool, excellent restaurant, and gear storage.
Luxury residences with ski-in/ski-out, spa, and mountain-view balconies.
Boutique hotel with retro-chic mountain style. Pool, hot tub, and shuttle to Aspen.
Snowmass Village Mall institution — soups, sandwiches, and comfort food since the 1970s.
Richard Sandoval's modern Mexican concept. Margaritas and mountain views.
The brewery's only Colorado taproom outside Fort Collins. Pizza and New Belgium drafts at the base of the slopes.
3,332 skiable acres with 94 trails. The Big Burn — a wide-open powder bowl — is one of Colorado's most iconic ski runs.
50,000-square-foot facility with climbing walls, trampolines, and art studios. Opens winter and summer.
In 2010, construction workers found 100,000-year-old mammoth bones. The discovery center tells the story.
Most families say yes. The Treehouse, ski school, and village layout are designed for kids. Aspen is better for nightlife and shopping. Many families base in Snowmass and visit Aspen for a day.
Free RFTA bus runs every 15–20 minutes. The ride takes about 25 minutes. Or let us drive you — door-to-door is always better than a bus stop in ski boots.
We track every flight in real time. If your flight is delayed, we automatically adjust your pickup time. No extra charge and no rebooking needed.
At DEN your chauffeur meets you curbside on Level 5 — Island 2, near door 506 on the west side or door 511 on the east, depending on your baggage claim — and texts you the exact spot. For private FBOs, we meet you on the tarmac or at the terminal.
We ask for two hours' notice for any pickup between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m. Anything inside two hours is Rush service for an additional $50, and we only confirm it once a driver is assigned. For a pickup between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m., book before 10 p.m., when our dispatch office is staffed. Call us for the fastest confirmation.
Yes, we can accommodate car seat requests. Please mention this when booking so we can have the appropriate seat installed.
Yes. Many clients pair airport transfers with Red Rocks concerts, weddings, and special events. We can coordinate round-trip transportation across Denver and the Front Range.
With the right vehicle and a trained chauffeur, yes. Colorado's Traction Law (Code 15) on I-70 requires AWD/4WD or snow-rated tires with adequate tread; Arion vehicles meet or exceed it, carry chains, and our chauffeurs are ice-driving trained and monitor CDOT conditions before and during every mountain run.
Dispatch monitors CDOT closures and traction/chain restrictions in real time and will reroute (US-285, US-40, I-70 timing changes) or reschedule your pickup window. We tell you early rather than leaving you guessing at the airport.
Door-to-door from DIA or anywhere on the Front Range. Flight tracked, no surge pricing.
