Alta Lodges

The five traditional Alta ski lodges are an important component of the Alta ski resort experience and history. Most of them are not super luxurious, but are very comfortable, incredibly sociable and have a culture of class about them. The people that stay in the lodges often return each year, and are unpretentious and very friendly.

Alta lodging is not really expensive but it’s not suited to those on a budget vacation considering that gourmet multi-course feasts are included in the package. One of the advantages of the provided meals is the opportunity to meet new and interesting people, and listen to Alta folklore.

The Alta lodges are scattered across the base area and are ski-in ski-out, or pretty much close to it. All the lodges are within walking distance of other buildings in the quiet village. Room types vary from dorm rooms to suites. The lodges have facilities such as shuttle buses (around the village e.g. to get to ski school or child care), hot tubs, saunas, lounges, bars and internet access.

It’s just as well that all the lodges have an all-inclusive nature because occasionally they are all on lock-down when the avalanche risk is high. Everyone has to stay inside and the usual camaraderie steps up a notch.

Towards the Snowbird end of the Alta village are various condominiums and vacation homes. Most of them don’t have ski-in ski-out access to Alta, but some are SISO to Snowbird Ski Resort.
