Area Tours (winter)
While most vacationers come to Sun Valley for the skiing, there’s so
much more to a Sun Valley Resort winter experience. The area in and
around the resort offers much to explore for the adventurous traveler,
where you’ll discover a fascinating mix of history, glamor, charm and
natural beauty.
In Sun Valley itself, don’t miss a visit
to the Sun Valley Lodge to get a sense of the glamor and history of
this unique resort. Just outside is the legendary Sun Valley Ice Rink,
where the top skaters in the world come to perform, you can hike or
snowshoe the short 1.5 mile trail to Trail Creek Cabin, an historic
hunting lodge frequented by Ernest Hemingway, that is open for lunch
and dinner. Of course, you can always enjoy a relaxing day spent
wondering through the area’s many specialty shops, boutiques, art
galleries and fine restaurants.
Explore the neighboring town
of Ketchum, with its rustic Western charm, fine shops and restaurants.
While in Ketchum, venture a peak inside the Heritage and Ski Museum for
a fascinating look into Idaho’s ski history. Or take a drive up to
historic Galena Lodge, the areas main Nordic skiing center, and join a
Forest Service guide to learn about the cultural and natural history of
the area. You can also drive out to the historic mining towns of Hailey
and Stanley.
Natural wonders abound in the Sun Valley’s
surrounding area. The Big Wood River, one of the best trout fishing
rivers in the West, flows right through Ketchum. Not too far north lies
the Sawtooth National Recreation Area, which includes four mountain
ranges, hundreds of lakes, spectacular alpine scenery and offers
endless possibilities for winter recreation. The SNRA is also the
cradle of the fabled Salmon River, where several whitewater rafting
companies are based. Other nearby excursions include Red Fish Lake,
Craters of the Moon National Monument, Ice Caves and Mammoth Cave.
