Sun Valley

Sun Valley may have opened in 1936 as the Rockies' first ski resort, but its good-old-fashioned Western charm makes it equally captivating off the slopes. The saloon-filled town of Ketchum at the mountain’s base is rife with art galleries showcasing Western and Modern art, and even boasts its own Sun Valley Opera House, ideal for cinema-goers. Other popular winter pastimes like cross-country skiing and snowshoeing are on tap at the Sun Valley Nordic Center & Snowshoe Lodge or Galena Lodge, while après-ski options range from old Hollywood haunts like the Duchin Lounge to the ruggedly classic Pioneer Saloon, an old Western homestead. Literary buffs can also pay their respects to the grave of Ernest Hemingway, who was buried in the town cemetery; he wrote parts of For Whom the Bell Tolls while living in town.
