Even the most avid shopper will be beguiled by the incredible scope and charm of Aspen’s stores and boutiques. For a small town, Aspen packs quite the shopping punch, ranging from Gucci, Prada and Ralph Lauren to locally-owned establishments like the down-to earth yet unbelievably enticing Carl’s Pharmacy where you can pick up any necessity you care to name (and plenty you hadn’t yet thought of). And the beauty of it all, is that it’s all to be found just steps away, within the downtown ‘core’.

We know that many visitors like nothing more than to spend time exploring shops on their own, with the element of surprise being a big part of the fun. However if you want suggestions or are looking for something in particular, we will be delighted to help.

For skis, including rentals and anything you might need for your outside activities visit our good friends at Aspen Sports. For equipment rentals we also recommend Incline Sports next to the Gondola Plaza in Aspen and Four Mountain Sports. Handy tip – Four Mountain sports are at every ski area, and Aspen Sports and many of the other Aspen-based ski stores have branches in Snowmass too. It really couldn’t be easier to pick up and drop off rentals and you’ll find the service excellent. For a quirky and fun stop, visit the Aspen Thrift Shop – hey, this is Aspen, so we don’t have just your average Thrift –check out the book section for brand new bargains, and the designer racks, plus all proceeds benefit local non-profits.
