The perfect festive stay
in the Rocky Mountains
The rugged Rocky Mountains are as much a part of America’s culture as they are its landscape. Dramatic peaks blanketed in snow throughout the winter, marvellous native wildlife, and a backdrop of the vast Great Plains make it one of the world’s most impressive destinations for an outdoor adventure. Experience its mesmerising beauty firsthand this festive season from the comfort of a cosy Rocky Mountain cabin rental.
Straddling no fewer than seven states and stretching out for well over a thousand miles, it’s safe to say that the Rocky Mountains are immense. The region boasts National Park status and is home to some of the best ski resorts in North America. When you’re not hitting the slopes or unwinding in your lavish Rocky Mountain chalet, you’ll have the chance to soak up the local cuisine and unique charm of bustling mountain towns like Aspen, Park City, Breckenridge, Telluride and Steamboat.

A festive season in the Rocky Mountains
December to March is the best time for a cosy Rocky Mountain cabin escape, thanks to the region’s fabulously frosty scenery. Ski season is in full swing, and there are plenty of other winter activities to enjoy, from snowshoeing to sledging.
Planning a trip to Breckenridge? Late January is when the town hosts the International Snow Sculpture Championships.
How to get there
Make the journey as memorable as the arrival. Your dedicated concierge can arrange transportation from the closest airport or bus station to your Rocky Mountain chalet.
By plane
There are several international airports close to the Rocky Mountain National Park, including Denver and Salt Lake City. You’ll also spot smaller regional airports, such as Glenwood Spring Municipal Airport just northwest of Aspen, with private jet facilities. The easiest way to reach your Rocky Mountain chalet from your chosen airport is via a VIP car transfer arranged with your concierge.
By car
Hiring a car and setting off on daily road trips is a great way to see the Rockies, especially if you’re visiting outside of the ski season when there are various other activity options to enjoy. The roads are well-maintained and very scenic, although some are closed by late autumn and throughout the winter. Your concierge can help you book your car rental, whether you want a vehicle for your entire trip or just a few days.
By bus
The National Park Service runs free shuttle buses across the Rockies between May and October. There are three different routes which mostly cover the park’s eastern destinations. You could also hop on the Estes Park Shuttle (note that this is ticketed) from Denver International Airport and then arrange any onward travel from Estes Park to your ski resort.
Local tips
- Always be respectful of the mountain wildlife and be sure to follow any local rules and regulations.
- Make sure to always have a water bottle on hand as it is easier to get dehydrated at high altitudes.
- Pack a lightweight outer layer or sweater even in the summer, as temperatures tend to dip dramatically in the evening.
