Bald Mountain is one of the finest ski destination featuring some 3,000 vertical feet and 2,000 acres of terrain. For all experience levels, with kid-friendly slopes and more, this mountain packs the perfect punch for anyone looking to hit the slopes. The Wundercarpet, an uphill transporter, makes traveling up the mountain easy and full of breath-taking views. Other than alpine skiing, cross-country skiing is a popular sport. Sun Valley features miles of trails groomed daily for your convenience.
Afterward, you can continue to celebrate winter and take a classic horse-drawn sleigh ride through the hills. It makes a perfect romantic outing or family adventure. During the summer months, the snow-covered hills turn into biking and hiking triails. Head to the Sawtooth Wilderness, a government-protected area known as the crown jewel of Idaho. Here you can explore the glacial valleys, hike through the alpine meadows and view the local wildlife. After the end of any activity, it is easy to relax at one of the local spas or swimming pools and return to being cozy at one of our Ketchum hotels.
