"Alta Lodge was the town's first hotel and is still standing (and thriving!) over 80 years later. Situated right near the base of Wildcat, the Alta Lodge provides its guests with the perfect location for ski-in, ski-out access so they can maximize time on the mountain. Over the years, the Alta Lodge has expanded from its original size, (now boasting 57 rooms) but it has preserved both the history and beauty of what has drawn guests there for decades. Depending on their room choice, guests can step outside onto their own private balconies for a spectacular mountain view of the ski-runs they plan to attempt that day, or warm up next to their own private fireplace. Perhaps most impressive, the Alta Lodge's commitment to families; family-owned since 1959, the lodge offers an outstanding kids' program, providing a separate kids' dinner, transportation to ski school and appealing activities (think: sledding, arts and crafts, and movie night) for children to enjoy time without their parents…and vice versa. Above all else, Alta Lodge guests revel in the community atmosphere, using the lobby and the time-honored Sitzmark Club to connect with old friends, make new ones, and then return year after year, bringing the next generation with them. All accommodations include a hot breakfast and a four-course dinner. Lunch is served daily and open to everyone." - Travel + Leisure Editors
