The towns of Aspen and Snowmass have a plethora of activities you can enjoy aside from skiing, sledding, and soaking in the hot tub. Owning a piece of Snowmass real estate allows you to have every kind of adventure right outside your door. Counting down the Top Ten, next on the list are dog sledding and sleigh rides:
5. Dog Sledding with Krabloonik: a Magical Experience in the Wild.
As they celebrate their 36th year, Krabloonik Restaurant and Dog Sledding welcomes guests with exquisitely prepared game and fresh fish, an award-winning wine list and spectacular mountain views. All this is savored in the midst of Krabloonik sled-dog teams, leaping and howling in wild anticipation of the run.
Dog sledding dates back over 10,000 years and heralds the first known teamwork between man and animal. Krabloonik is committed to preserving this honorable Alaskan tradition by creating a home for dogs born and bred to run and by sharing with guests the unparalleled excitement of sledding in the wild.
6. Sleigh Rides in the Maroon Bells Wilderness.
Experience counts! The Maroon Bells Outfitters operate sleigh rides out of Aspen's oldest working ranch, the T Lazy 7. As you ride along Maroon Creek Road with two beautiful Belgian horses pulling the sleigh through the snow, you get spectacular views of Pyramid Peak. Private sleigh rides are available. What a wonderful way to experience the outdoors with your young children or your special someone? Snuggle up under some blankets and enjoy the incredible scenery!
