Aspen, Colorado will soon welcome Chalet Alpina, a new resort and residential development at the base of Aspen Mountain. Located just steps from Lift One, the project combines European alpine design with Rocky Mountain surroundings, adding a fresh option for high-end living in a town known for its ski culture. Specifically, the development encompasses a luxury hotel with premier amenities, an exclusive private mountain members club, and a carefully curated collection of ski-in/ski-out residences featuring innovative co-ownership opportunities.

The timing of Chalet Alpina’s arrival couldn’t be more significant. As luxury developments continue to transform Aspen’s landscape, this new project brings even more opulence to what is already considered the country’s most exclusive mountain destination. Chalet Alpina stands as a testament to the evolution of travel, where immersive design meets historic character in an unprecedented slopeside experience.

The creative force behind Chalet Alpina’s distinctive aesthetic is renowned interior architect Martin Brudnizki, whose celebrated work at London’s legendary private club Annabel’s has earned international acclaim. For this ambitious Aspen project, Brudnizki is crafting interiors that seamlessly blend sophistication with a profound sense of place, drawing upon his signature style while reimagining alpine living at its most elevated form.

Brudnizki’s design philosophy for Chalet Alpina emphasizes flow and narrative continuity throughout the property. “Each space will flow into the next, with a quiet rhythm and a sense of narrative,” he notes. “By layering soft forms, inviting textures and colors drawn from the surrounding landscape, the interiors will feel immersive and transportive — as though the guests and residents have stepped into a beautifully told story.”

The broader Lift One corridor revitalization, of which Chalet Alpina is a centerpiece, includes the installation of a new high-speed Lift One and the creation of public park space that will provide seamless pedestrian connections to downtown Aspen.

“The inspiration behind the design of Chalet Alpina takes cues from Aspen’s history, blending the classic ski destination aesthetic with thoughtful details that bring a sense of luxury, comfort, fun and tradition,”

Expected to come to market this winter, Chalet Alpina’s residential offerings represent the pinnacle of mountain living. The collection includes six expansive one-of-a-kind Mountain Homes and 26 resort-residences ranging from two to four bedrooms, each designed to maximize the spectacular mountain setting while providing ski-in/ski-out convenience that eliminates the typical hassles of mountain recreation.

The co-ownership opportunities at Chalet Alpina address a growing trend among luxury property buyers who desire access to premium mountain real estate without the full-time commitment of traditional ownership. This innovative approach allows multiple families to share in the ownership and enjoyment of these exceptional properties while ensuring professional management and maintenance year-round.

The property features a comprehensive spa facility, a rooftop pool that takes advantage of Aspen’s stunning mountain vistas, a state-of-the-art fitness center, and a private ski shop that ensures residents are always equipped for mountain adventures. Uniquely, two restored historic skier’s chalets will be repurposed to house a signature restaurant and the new Aspen Ski Museum. Many dining and entertaining spaces throughout the property provide venues for both intimate gatherings and larger celebrations, while exclusive access to the private members club creates opportunities for networking and socializing with like-minded mountain enthusiasts.
