After fewer than two hours of flight time, Aspen-Pitkin County Airport’s (ASE) – also known as Sardy Field – close proximity to Aspen’s four revered ski resorts, Buttermilk (five minutes), Highlands (seven minutes), Aspen Mountain/Ajax (10 minutes) and Snowmass (10 minutes) means you’ll go from plane to pisté in minutes.
A glamorous high-altitude playground for jet-setters and celebrities, Aspen is best known as a world-class ski destination. And while ski season runs from November to April, the former mining town is a popular destination anytime of year. Off the slopes, it’s a creative powerhouse offering a compelling mix of art, culture, and fashion.
Aspen may be a ski town, but its dynamic dining, retail, and arts & culture scene rivals that of many major US cities.
Located just three miles northwest of the town of Aspen, at 7,829 feet above sea level and surrounded by mountainous terrain, Aspen-Pitkin County Airport (ASE) is notoriously one of the most challenging airports in the world.
It’s no surprise that the world’s finest ski town has no shortage of world-class accommodations, complete with Aspen’s own brand of alpine luxury.
