We are so excited to celebrate with you in beautiful Aspen, Colorado this September! Aspen is a stunning mountain destination filled with incredible scenery, charming downtown streets, and endless opportunities to explore. We know many of you will be traveling, so we've gathered helpful information below to make planning your trip as easy as possible.
The closest airport is Aspen/Pitkin County Airport (ASE), located just minutes from downtown Aspen and our wedding events.
Additional nearby airport options include:
- Eagle County Regional Airport (EGE) — approximately 1.5–2 hours away
- Denver International Airport (DEN) — approximately 4 hours away by car
Rental cars, airport shuttles, and rideshare services are available from each airport.
Aspen and the surrounding areas are very walkable, and many hotels provide shuttle services. Parking can be limited depending on the season and location, so we encourage guests to utilize shuttles, rideshares, and public transportation whenever possible.
Transportation details for wedding events will be shared closer to the date.
We have secured a discounted group rate at the amazing Viceroy Snowmass for our wedding guests. Please follow the link provided, or reference The Gilpin + Heine Wedding to book your stay.
Please note that Aspen accommodations can fill quickly, especially during fall travel season, so we encourage booking early.
If you're making a weekend of it, here are a few favorite Aspen activities:
- Explore charming downtown Aspen
- Ride the gondola for incredible mountain views
- Enjoy hiking and scenic walks
- Visit local restaurants and shops
- Take in Colorado's beautiful early fall scenery
Aspen sits at nearly 8,000 feet elevation. If you are traveling from lower elevations, altitude can affect people differently. We recommend drinking plenty of water, limiting alcohol on arrival day, packing layers, and giving yourself time to adjust and enjoy the mountains.
