Elk Camp

Accessed by a scenic 9-minute gondola ride originating from Snowmass Base Village, Elk Camp was named by Skiing magazine as “Best On-Mountain Restaurant” in North America. The Lodge received LEED Silver for its sustainable merits.

The Elk Camp Restaurant, a winter dining venue and summer base camp at the top of Elk Camp Gondola, is a signature building for Snowmass that exemplifies the Aspen Skiing Company brand. A trademark curved roof is its defining element inspired by its surrounding landscape and activities.

The Great Room accommodates up to 250 guests as a special event venue, and is served from an open scramble servery. An adjoining lounge warms guests and provides an intimate gathering space that also opens up onto a large south-facing terrace that overlooks Snowmass Mountain slopes.

The lower level is dedicated to the children’s ski school lunch “tent” which creates a sense of adventure inside and out.

The curved design is rooted in several key principles: it establishes a launching point to nature and adventure, integrates form-making that exudes energy, and creates a memorable experience, central to the values of the Aspen Skiing Company.
