Accommodation Park City

At Park City, Canyons Village, and even further out in the suburbs, you’ll find accommodation ranging from luxury to budget with everything in between to suit your family or group. If you’re bringing your family, and you want to stay in Park City, the base area is probably most convenient. Though a little pricier, here you’ll find a ski-in-ski-out condo or hotel that’s close to childcare and the ski school, rental shops, the slopes and all the activities. Travelling as a couple or with friends? Hotels and condos in the main street and downtown will have you right among the bars, restaurants and shops yet still within an easy ride via chairlift to the snow. Despite its compact size, Canyons Village has a good variety of accommodation ranging from deluxe to luxurious and including the grand Waldorf Astoria. Some hotels and condos are ski-in-ski-out and others are within a walk or quick shuttle ride of the chair lifts. Being a small village, you’ll also have easy access from your resort accommodation to ski school, childcare, rental facilities and shops. Many of the Canyons Village’s condos are fully self-contained, making this base particularly popular among families and groups. If you’re skiing on a tighter budget, check the accommodation on the bus route in Park City, where there are more economical options as well as restaurants, bars, shops, and resort facilities.

Skiing & Boarding

Regardless of your ability on skies or a snowboard, at Park City you’ll find masses of varied terrain to explore… and then there’s Canyons, now accessible via the Interconnect Gondola.
Black runs from the mountain’s highest point are where it’s at for expert skiers, then there are the heart-pumping chutes, glades and slopes in areas like Jupiter Bowl. Ready to take a hike? Enjoy 600 acres of incredible back country with powder bowls and glades at Pinecone Ridge – it’s an experience you’ll never forget. If you’re less advanced, you’ll love the incredible intermediate trails and groomed black runs that make up over 50% of this massive resort. And if you’re a beginner, take advantage of the first timer’s chair lift and dedicated slow zones before progressing to the adjoining gentle slopes.
