Comfortable 2 Bedroom, 2 Bathroom condo located at the Sol Vista ski resort in Granby Ranch. Our condo is a private ground level (no stairs) corner unit with plenty of natural light and sunshine. Incredible views of surrounding mountains, and all the amenities to enjoy your stay no matter the season. Our condo is beautifully decorated, and has many amenities, including a fully equipped kitchen, gas fireplace, washer/dryer and close parking. Several community hot tubs and BBQ grills are available. Sol Vista is a great spot for a family vacation or romantic getaway any time of the year.
Kicking Horse Lodge at Granby Ranch is nestled in the secluded Fraser Valley at the heart of Grand County. The sparkling Fraser River meanders through it, the majestic peaks of Rocky Mountain National Park and the Indian Peaks Wilderness encircle it, and one of the largest Elk Preserves in Colorado inhabits it. The Ute and Arapahoe Indians, and President Eisenhower were known to favor this area, and it’s easy to see why, with its rolling grasslands, forested peaks, and trout-filled waters.
Located seventy miles northwest of Denver, Colorado via Interstate 70 west to exit 232 (Hwy 40). Located two miles from Granby, 15 miles north of Winter Park, less than 25 miles from Rocky Mountain National Park, and only 15 miles down the road from Grand Lake (Colorado’s largest natural body of water boasting 150 miles of shoreline!).
SKIING:
Welcome to the most family-friendly ski mountain you’ll find anywhere. Two separate yet interconnected mountains make this a skiing experience everyone can enjoy. While the East Mountain is a beginner and intermediate skier’s paradise, the West Mountain offers terrain to whet the appetite of more advanced skiers. SolVista Basin is the perfect place for kids and parents alike, as all runs lead to a single location at the base. The newly completed Base Camp Lodge, which houses a dining hall, Seven Trails Grille, Higher Grounds Coffee Shop, also has an outdoor fire pit for gathering around at the end of the day.
For a change of pace, SolVista offers 25km of maintained Nordic trails which sprawl across the beautiful Granby Ranch area. A short free shuttle ride takes you to the incredible Winter Park resort for ultimate Colorado fun!
GOLFING:
With views of the Continental Divide to the west and SolVista Basin to the south, the scenery doesn’t get much better than what you’ll find at Headwaters. Redesigned by the Jack Nicholas Design Group to become one of the finest golf venues in the Rocky Mountains, the course promises a challenging and enjoyable experience for all players. 18 hole par 72 golf course with driving range and three chipping/putting greens. This is truly a hidden gem! Other golf courses in the area include Grand Elk, Grand Lake and Pole Creek courses.
BIKING:
SolVista is known for its downhill trails, and also has world class, cross-country mountain bike trails, and nearby scenic road rides. SolVista will host the 2009 National Mountain Bike Championship, as well as many other cycling events. All trails are accessible right from condo!

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2008
My husband and I met on a backpacking trip in the Colorado Mountains, and have been escaping together to the majestic beauty of the high country ever since. We never run out of places to explore and adventures share, which made Grand County the perfect location for us to invest in a place of our own. There are endless options of things to do and see here, all under the glorious Colorado sunshine! We hope that you’ll enjoy all that Granby Ranch/Grand County has to offer! Sarah and Ryan, Denver, CO.
Why the Owner Chose Sol Vista
Almost from the moment we first explored SolVista did we realize how comfortable and relaxed we felt. There's no comparison to the serenity and ease of life we enjoy while we're at our condo. The short drive from Denver, and the nearby grocery store and town, make SolVista an easy, stress-free escape. And the people we've met here are friendly, down-to-earth folks enjoying a laid-back getaway with their families.
