Jackson Hole

High in the Rockies, on the doorstep of Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks, the jagged peaks of Wyoming’s Teton Range rise abruptly over pristine forests, fast-running rivers and the broad, flat valley known as Jackson Hole. Wrapped in such splendour, this celebrated year-round outdoor resort offers invigorating mountain air, skies dense with stars, and an astonishing profusion of wildlife.

Winter’s deep snows offer powder skiing, snowboarding, cross-country skiing and dog sledding for all skill levels. Spring and summer activities range from fly-fishing and river rafting to rock climbing, horseback riding, kayaking, mountain biking, golfing and tennis.

This inspirational setting supports a thriving theatre, art and music scene, while countless films have made the most of Jackson Hole’s magnificent alpine vistas. The town of Jackson – 12 miles (18 kilometres) away from the Resort – has a population of about 8,600, but many more visitors arrive regularly to experience the vast unspoiled wilderness and the romance of the Old West.
