Nestled in the heart of the Colorado Rocky Mountains, Aspen is best known as a premier winter sport destination. What many people do not know is that Aspen is an ideal year-round couple’s getaway destination offering some really special romantic activities that perfectly set the scene for a proposal or a special anniversary.

You can go hot air ballooning or paragliding over the stunning mountain scenery (usually followed by a champagne breakfast), or opt for the equally spectacular (but less expensive) option of riding the gondola to the top of Aspen Mountain to enjoy a romantic moonlit Friday-night dinner.

In summer, you can add kayaking and white-water rafting to the list of activities. Wind down your day with a couple’s massage at the spa or encourage togetherness by taking a couple’s cooking lesson.
