Activities & Tours

Park City and the surrounding area offer a huge range of winter activities – almost everything you could imagine.

Ski Tours and Activities The Interconnect Tour is a novel guided experience that takes experienced skiers to 4-6 Utah ski resorts and the backcountry areas between them. It is only open to skiers and a degree of traversing and side-stepping is required, so skiers need to be in good physical condition. Tours leave from Deer Valley on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday and cover Deer Valley, Park City, Solitude, Brighton, Alta and Snowbird.

There are various cross-country ski opportunities. White Pine Touring offers 20km of track and skate skiing at the Park City golf course. The Homestead Resort and Soldier Hollow also have tracks.

Family Activities There are plenty of kid friendly activities in Park City, whether you are looking for some quality adults-only time or all-inclusive family entertainment. Activities include ice skating, sleigh rides, and sledding. 

The Alpine Coaster has been categorised here as a family activity but it’s definitely not just for kids or families. This little rollercoaster is surprisingly good. Located just above the base of the resort, this ride has individual trains that have a brake lever, so you can go as slow or as fast (within reason) as you like and experience some minor G-forces. You can ride in tandem or go solo. This ride is good fun and will be guaranteed to result in some whooping and giggling.

Nervous laughter will also ensue with snowtubing at Gorgoza Park, 5 minutes out of town off the I-80. The park also has mini-snowmobile rides.

There are plenty of activities at the Utah Olympic Park to entertain both adults and children including tubing, zip-lining, and museum tours.

Adventure Activities Adventure seekers will find plenty of activities in Park City. The thrill of careening around in a snowmobile is on offer with seven different operators, and dog-sledding is another option. If you can bring yourself to wake up early, sunrise hot air balloon rides are a beautiful way to see Park City. Many of the activity operators provide a complimentary shuttle service.

Bob sledding at the Utah Olympic Park is the ultimate buzz.

Leisure Activities Less adrenaline pumped activities include snowshoeing, theatres, and strolling amongst the many galleries of Park City.

Relaxation There are at least 20 day spas in Park City – blimey! Most offer a full menu of treatments including massages, facials and body treatments. They also offer pedicures but it seems rather wasteful to put pretty feet into ski or snowboard boots.

Events Park City commonly has events including various ski and snowboard championships. The most famous of Park City events is the Sundance Film Festival which happens in late January and takes over the town. If you can afford the accommodation during Sundance it can be a great time to go skiing. The slopes are generally uncrowded as people are either pretending to watch films, or they have a hangover.
