Although Aspen has its own airport there are some other adventurous was to get here that may be a little more easy on the pocketbook. Very inexpensive flights to Denver can be found on all major airlines. Head to Denver with some friends by air or meet in Denver from different cities. Share a car and make the absolute gorgeous 3 hour drive to Aspen via either over Independence Pass or through the Glenwood Canyon. Both ways are stunning drives and an exceptional way to start your weekend and immerse into the beautiful nature that Colorado has to offer. Maybe come in one way and leave the other so you don’t miss out on the beauty of both. Aspen/Snowmass is anything but cookie-cutter. We’ve got lodging big and small, luxurious and budget-friendly, right in the middle of the action, or right in the middle of an aspen forest. No matter what vision of mountain festival lodging fills your head, we can put a pillow under it.
