The Gant, Aspen

Best ski destination, bar none

Having skied in Australia and in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, I was blown away by the town and the skiing in Aspen.

There was variety on the slopes, for all levels of skiers (including steep and deep), even when the snow was not at its best (we did get a couple of small dumps during our stay). 

The town was fun and friendly, with plenty to do when not on the slopes. 

Great bars and restaurants, from kiddie friendly to smart. 

The Gant was flawless. The pool and hot tubs were a treat for sore bodies, the shuttle service was friendly and prompt, and the ski concierge service was a god send. Definitely coming back. Again and again.

Aspen - The Gant

My family (myself, wife and 3 teenage children) booked through Travelplan into the Gant at Aspen in conjunction with the AALC Conference in January 2011. Travelplan arranged everything relating to the conference, together with flights that took us into San Francisco so we could do 10 days travel on west coast before the conference.

Travelplan were very helpful with the various changes I sought before finalizing our itenary.

Aspen skiing and facilities were great. Our unit in the Gant was very comfortable and well appointed. I was a little disappointed the Gant did not have a central lounge or meeting aarea, but apart from that it was an excellent place to stay.

Awesome Aspen

Aspen was awesome. We stayed in a very comfy condo at The Gant. It is on the edge of town but it has a very efficient shuttle service for the 5 minute run into town. Aspen also has an excellent, and free, bus service to the 3 ski fields just outside Aspen.

There is plenty of variety in the ski terrain. Our favourite was the Aspen gondola run, but the wide expanses of Snowmass and  Highlands are great as well. There are plenty of good restaurants in Aspen and the prices are mostly very reasonable.

Thanks Travelplan for organising an itinerary that went like clockwork
