Finding affordable lodging in Aspen is all about timing. The one motto to remember when trying to book an affordable stay is "Off-season, off-season, off-season." With that in mind, your vacation is halfway planned.
Aspen's off-season comes during two spectacular parts of the year. For a couple of weeks in the spring and a couple in the fall, the town changes its tune. Most tourists have come and gone and Aspen is given back to the locals and those few visitors in the know. The serenity and seasons are breathtaking and will surely appeal to any visitor's wanderlust.
Enticements of the Seasons
The springtime off-season is a great time to go if you are still interested in hitting the slopes. Lift ticket prices and lodging prices are drastically reduced. The attitude on the mountain is different than it is throughout the winter because everyone is simply trying to absorb the last glorious days of the season. Lighthearted and fun, many skiers take to the mountain in little more than a pair of shorts and a comical hat. Most often, the weather is sunny and perfect for going from the slopes to an outdoor patio while enjoying the relaxed atmosphere of spring in Aspen.
During the fall, there is no better reason to visit than for the nature. The season is perfect for hiking, biking, camping and climbing. With the cooler weather settling in and the Aspen trees all changing to their unmistakable, brilliant yellow, it is nearly impossible not to be drawn outdoors. Room rates drop once again and a room that might cost $400 during peak-season might cost a mere $85.
