Villazzo’s VillaHotel Chantal in Aspen |
Whether you’re looking for an invigorating break on the slopes, a romantic getaway, or a family friendly vacation in the snow, an Aspen luxury villa rental is really an ideal choice. Spending Christmas, Hanukkah, or New Year’s–or any holiday for that matter!–in a perfectly appointed, private villa with all the amenities and services of a five-star hotel will really make for a holiday to remember. Of course, Aspen is just as wonderful for those not celebrating a holiday and are instead looking to enjoy the great skiing and quaint beauty of this world class town.

Perfectly Appointed: The Open Concept Interior of VillaHotel Pamela |
One wonderful event that always draws those in the know to Aspen is Wintersköl, a “toast to winter,” which this year celebrating its 65th Anniversary. This winter carnival, which was started by Jack DePagter as a way to bring bodies into town during the three week post-Christmas lull, offers a ton to see and do. If you happen to be enjoying a stay in a luxury villa rental during Wintersköl you’ll be treated to many wonderful activities perfect for adults and family alike. The festival kicks off on January 10, 2013 with events like a snow sculpture competition and a celebratory luncheon. Currently scheduled events over the next few days, which are subject to change, include a crash course in Aspen history held at the Wheeler Opera House, special Art Museum events, a Mad Hatter Ball, an Apres Ski Party on the Friday, a Soup Cook Off, Skating Exhibition, and Ullr Nights, a winter wonderland night ski event. You can be wowed by fireworks and, for those with canine friends, participate in Skijoring (a mix of Nordic skiing and dog sledding), as well as a canine fashion show.
For those who enjoy extremes on the slopes, the weeks that follow Winterskol will be a great time to be in Aspen too. The X Games Aspen are being held on January 24 to 27, 2013. Of course, you can also enjoy an Aspen vacation that consists of everything from skiing and shopping, snowboarding and gourmet dinners, to just enjoying the view from your luxury villa rental while relaxing by the fire (that vista above is from VillaHotel Chantal). Your luxury vacation in Aspen is really what you make it–and the limit is your imagination. If you are planning on skiing, one cool new gadget you may want to consider for the slopes are the AirWave Snow Goggles from Oakley. Stacked with GPS, sensors, and Bluetooth, these goggles can do a lot more than just protect your eyes from the elements!
