These insider tips come from Kevin Bradford, our Keystone property manager- see our Keystone lodging options.

Keystone’s quaint mountain village, the Keystone ski resort and surrounding areas host an awesome array of activities and events that you have to try while you are visiting!

Here are our top 5 unique things to do in Keystone:

1. Grab the whole family and visit the snow castle and try night tubing at the Adventure Center located at the top of the River Run Gondola. The snow tubing is some of the most exciting you can find in the whole country, and the gigantic Snow Castle is a great place for kids to explore.

2. Get dinner at one of Keystone’s on-mountain fine dining establishments, the Alpenglow Stube or Fondue Chessel. Both require a gondola ride to get there and have some of the most luxurious atmospheres you can find this side of Vail. See other restaurant recommendations in Keystone.

3. Go ice skating at Keystone Lakeside Village, its open late and there are a few nice restaurants and shops to visit that line the shore.

4. Do a day of KAT skiing or snowboarding with Keystone Adventure Tours. For a reasonable price, their experienced guides will take you above tree line into the Keystone Backcountry and even provide you with a pair of wide skis for the deep snow you’re surely to find in the bowls.

5. Get some delicious breakfast and coffee or hot chocolate in Inxpot, located in the center of River Run Village. Inxpot has a large drink menu with a full bar, and has books to read and sofas to sit on in the back. They also have a few tables out front in the Village, a good spot to people-watch as everyone makes their way to and from the River Run Gondola. See other restaurant recommendations in Keystone.
