Snowmass Village in summer is one of Colorado’s most effortless mountain escapes—where alpine trails begin steps from your door, lift-served biking delivers downhill thrills, and iconic destinations like the Maroon Bells are just down the road. Whether you’re here for nonstop adventure or a slower alpine reset, everything flows naturally between outdoor exploration, village ease, and mountain luxury.
Staying in a vacation rental with the CoralTree Residence Collection in Snowmass Village puts you at the center of it all—offering spacious mountain homes, elevated comfort, and direct access to trails, Base Village, and resort amenities.
Here’s a 3-day summer itinerary built for the ultimate Snowmass experience.
Day 1: Arrival + Base Village Stroll + Pool Reset
Arrive in Snowmass Village and settle into your vacation rental with CoralTree Residence Collection. One of the best parts of staying in Snowmass is how connected everything feels—no long drives or complicated logistics, just immediate access to the outdoors.
Spend the afternoon exploring Snowmass Base Village, a pedestrian-friendly hub filled with restaurants, shops, and sweeping mountain views. In the heart of it all is the Base Village Climbing Wall, a 50-foot outdoor climbing wall with multiple lanes—perfect for kids, beginners, or anyone looking for a fun challenge right in the center of the village.
By afternoon, head to the pool—one of the signature amenities of Snowmass summer living. Heated outdoor pools surrounded by alpine peaks make it the perfect place to unwind after travel.
End the day with dinner in the village and an easy sunset walk as the mountains glow in soft evening light.
Day 2: Front-Door Trails + Mountain Biking + Lost Forest Adventure Park
Wake up and step directly into Snowmass’s extensive trail network—one of its most defining summer features. In Snowmass Village, hiking and mountain biking trails quite literally begin outside your door, making it easy to choose your own level of adventure each day.
Morning options include:
- Scenic hiking trails through wildflower meadows and aspen groves
- Village connector trails into Base Village
- Lift-served access to Elk Camp Gondola and mid-mountain terrain
From there, take the gondola up to Lost Forest Adventure Park, Snowmass’s mid-mountain playground. This alpine adventure zone features the Breathtaker Alpine Coaster, a canopy zipline course, and high-ropes challenge elements set among the trees—offering a mix of adrenaline and scenic mountain immersion.
In the afternoon, return to the village for a swim, relax at your vacation rental, or enjoy a slow walk through Base Village before dinner.
Day 3: Maroon Bells Adventure + Farewell Pool Afternoon
No trip to Snowmass is complete without a visit to the Maroon Bells, one of the most photographed mountain landscapes in North America. Just a short drive from Snowmass Village (with seasonal shuttle access), the Maroon Bells Scenic Area offers alpine lakes, dramatic peaks, and unforgettable high-country scenery.
Choose an easy lakeside walk or a longer hike deeper into the wilderness. Early mornings are especially magical when the peaks reflect perfectly in Maroon Lake.
Return to Snowmass Village in the afternoon for one last swim and relaxation at the pool. After a day in the high alpine, there’s nothing better than unwinding while surrounded by mountain views.
End your stay with a final dinner in the village and a sunset walk as the mountains fade into alpenglow.
