Ajax Tavern

Say “après ski” and most people picture something strikingly similar to Ajax Tavern – glamorous yet easy. Its sun-drenched, mountainside patio can be seen from halfway up the mountain – a simple target for lunch or cocktails.

Element 47

It’s been called Aspen’s “finest spot to wine, dine and unwind.” The name element47 pays tribute to silver, the precious metal that first put Aspen on the map, and to the finest silver service cuisine —for breakfast, lunch, aprés and dinner.
