Hotel Colorado: Your Basecamp for Winter Adventure

Famous for its timeless beauty, Hotel Colorado is a historic treasure and a premier lodging choice in Glenwood Springs. Renowned for its atmosphere of elevated relaxation, the hotel also has an endearing playful side that invites families to indulge their sense of adventure in an array of wintery escapades.

Skiing & Snowboarding Splendor

For snow enthusiasts, Sunlight Mountain Resort is just a 15-minute drive away from Hotel Colorado. Boasting 72 trails and over 730 acres of skiable terrain, the runs range from bunny hills to experts-only slopes. Take it easy on gentle inclines and perfectly groomed corduroy or rip down steeps and tear through glades—the choice is yours! Snowboarders, too, will find their version of paradise at Sunlight with plenty of powder stashes to pounce through and a terrain park for showing off. When it comes time for a breather, take a break at the summit to admire the views which are nothing short of breathtaking.

Beneath the Surface

The winter wonders of Glenwood extend beyond the slopes as well. A visit to the Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park reveals marvels that both plumb the depths and reach new heights. Explore an underground world with your crew on cave tours where spectacular formations include stunning examples of stalactites, stalagmites, cave bacon, soda straws and more. For those seeking a thrilling rush off the slopes, the park’s Alpine Coaster and Crystal Tower rides offer excitement all winter long.

Healing Waters

After the adrenaline surge, there’s nothing like feeling the warmth of Glenwood’s geothermal waters to switch gears. Glenwood Hot Springs, the world’s largest mineral hot springs pool, invites guests to soak in a beautiful and historic setting that is just steps away from Hotel Colorado. Take it easy in the Therapy Pool or go all-in at the deep end of the large pool with your best cannonballs and belly flops! At Iron Mountain Hot Springs and the newly opened WorldSprings, visitors can take a dip in a wide range of smaller soaking pools. Try all of Iron Mountain’s 19 pools overlooking the Roaring Fork River. There’s also a jetted spa and a family pool where kids can make a splash. At WorldSprings, the 21+ area of the resort, favorites include 13 experience pools, 2 confluence pools and a cold plunge pool.

Full-Throttle Expeditions

For those still who crave more adventure, Sunlight Snowmobile Tours beckons with an opportunity to explore the snow-covered backcountry at a thrilling pace. Led by experienced guides, riders navigate on trails through a winterscape of pristine meadows and aspen forests. An ideal activity for non-skiers and multigenerational groups, snowmobiling provides a winter wonderland adventure without any experience required.

Timeless Character

Yet, amidst all these adventures, Hotel Colorado remains the heart and soul of the winter wonderland experience. Steeped in history and elegance, it offers a cozy respite at the end of each day. For après-fun, complete with wine, beer and cocktails, stop by Hotel Colorado Bar & Restaurant for drinks or linger longer over dinner with an assortment of sumptuous appetizers, entrees and desserts.
