Overview

Aspen has some of the most scenic backcountry snowmobile terrain in the country, delighting both beginner and advanced riders alike.

Where to go

Snowmobiling to the base of the world-famous Maroon Bells mountain peaks is the most popular snowmobile tour in Aspen. The Maroon Bells are one of the most photographed locations in North America. Though the "Bells" are closed to vehicles in the winter months, they are accessible by snowmobile. This allows snowmobilers the unique opportunity to see (and photograph!) the Maroon Bells in all their snow-covered glory. Total tour time is typically two hours.

Another popular tour takes riders through thick Aspen groves to the Klondike cabin, offering spectacular views of the 14,000-ft Pyramid Peak. Once at the rustic Klondike cabin, riders will hunker down to a hot meal, featuring ranch-raised, grass-fed beef. Total tour time is typically three hours.
