Take a look at the beautifully restored Victorian centre of Aspen, where lovely old buildings have been given face lifts and refurbished, rather like a lot of the wealthy celebrities staying in them. There is also Aspen's beautiful Victorian theatre, the Aspen Art Museum, tours of Hallam Lake Wildlife Sanctuary, or taking a ride on a horse-drawn sleigh to keep you entertained.
