10 Things To Do In Aspen This Summer

As Pitkin County (Aspen) shifts from the mandatory Stay at Home Health order to Colorado’s Safer at Home order this week, we can’t help but see a glimmer of hope for summer. This being said, your safety and health are our community’s top priority. All Aspen businesses are required to submit a proposal to open safely.

Here are some of Aspen’s top summer activities that you can still enjoy while social distancing

1. BIKING – Bike shops in the Roaring Fork Valley remain an essential business. We can arrange for your bikes to be delivered, tuned and sanitized before you arrive so you can click in and ride.

2. HIKING & ROCK CLIMBING – Our local experts will recommend trails that are less populated so you can keep 6 feet apart. Our guide partners will ensure your health and safety is their number one priority by enforcing new protocols that both guides and guests must follow. Your Aspen Luxury Concierge will ensure you have the details you need before you hit the trail.

3. GOLFING – Golf courses in the Roaring Fork Valley are open, but with new protocol. Your personal concierge will help you navigate the new rules and arrange your preferred tee time.

4. FLY FISHING – Our fly fishing partners will have their guides meet you at the fishing location so you do not have to ride in the same vehicle as they do. ALC will arrange a private vehicle to take you to and from the fishing. We can also arrange a delicious sandwich from Butchers Block to take with you to enjoy by the river. 

5. PRIVATE SHOPPING EXPERIENCES –  Allow us to arrange a private shopping experience at one of your favorite Aspen shops for you and your loved ones.

6. PRIVATE IN-HOME  EVENTS – Groups of up to 10 people are now permitted in the City of Aspen. Why not host an intimate al fresco dinner or brunch with your friends or family? Our team will beautifully design and execute your in-home event.  

7. PRIVATE CHEF & CATERING – Chefs are busy as ever as they pre-prepare meals for clients or cook in-home meals. Our chefs are committed to the highest safety and health standards.

8. TAKEOUT & DELIVERY –  Aspen restaurants are getting creative, and although they are only allowed to offer takeout and delivery at this time, this doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy your favorite local Aspen cuisine! Contact us to find out who is open. *To be updated as we obtain new information.

9. PICNIC IN THE PARK – Our team will arrange a beautiful picnic meal for you to enjoy in one of Aspen’s parks. We will set up and breakdown so all you have to do is show up and enjoy a lovely meal al fresco.
