Plenty of relaxation and rejuvenation in the many day spas in the area, mostly located in the hotels and ranches, and most of the accommodation has hot tubs. There are natural mineral springs about half an hour away, and a large resort and spa there offers a complete therapeutic experience. Non-skiers can still enjoy the views, as The Zephyr Express takes foot passengers up to the top elevation of 3,200m - the perfect spot for a scenic lunch. Winter Park is compact with a small-town feel, and a friendly easy-going atmosphere. There are a few authentic ranches to stay in locally, which offer a true taste of the West with their mountain charm. The Rocky Mountain National Park makes for a scenic drive, and Denver and Colorado Springs make for interesting day trips.

Dining And Après Ski 

Plenty of local flavour in the après ski and dining scene, with a laid-back and unpretentious approach. From family-style dining and casual pizzerias to cosy taverns and romantic mountain inns, there's something for everyone, and generally at great value for money. Try the local steaks, elk and famous Colorado lamb.
