Fodor's Expert Review Sundance Resort
8841 N. Alpine Loop Rd., Sundance, Utah, 84604, United States
With 11,750-foot Mount Timpanogos serving as a backdrop, Robert Redford's 5,000-acre retreat is a genuine tribute to arts and nature. Whatever the season, there is ample opportunity here for a personal Renaissance. Ski 450 acres of Utah-powder-filled terrain, take a watercolor class, hike the wildflower-lined trail to Stewart Falls, watch a Sundance Film Festival flick, relish the Tree Room's roasted Utah elk (and Redford's personal collection of Native American art), and belly up to the Owl Bar for a beer. Catch some repose at a slope-side symphony, settle down in a rocker beside the gentle stream or wind your way through pines and aspens to your cottage, mountain home, or—ahh—The Spa.
PROS
- a genuine retreat from urban hubbub
- fresh mountain air, glorious scenery, and outdoor adventure
- culinary magic plus nourishment for creative souls
CONS
- cell reception is iffy (which may also be a pro)
- nightlife doesn't get much more happening than stargazing or lifting a pint at a lone on-site watering hole
