About this property

Iconic Home Perched Between Alta And Snowbird, Perfect for a Family Gathering!

Greetings future Guests! My name is Ellie and I’m the property manager for the Altabird Chalet. Please don't hesitate to reach out with questions and I hope to see you soon.

The Altabird Chalet is perched between Alta and Snowbird. Just a short free shuttle ride to Alta Ski Area, and a short free shuttle ride and ski to Snowbird. It offers stunning panoramic views of the entire breadth of Little Cottonwood Canyon from Patsy Marley to Mt. Superior and beyond. Designed by a lifelong Alta resident to take full advantage of sun, snow, and views with windows and skylights, the Altabird Chalet is a welcoming environment perfect for multi-family ski vacations.

It has six bedrooms each with its own bathroom and full closet, and a newly renovated kitchen fully equipped for the modern chef. Kitchen/dining design makes for quality group interaction while preparing and enjoying meals and hosting apres-ski. Kitchen doubles as a crow's nest.

The living room layout makes for a perfect gathering place. In addition, the den downstairs provides kids with a separate hang-out area. Both rooms have TVs and media centers.

The Altabird Chalet is a home away from home. Its comfortable cozy decor makes for a great place to stay whether you are coming in from a full day skiing/boarding, or taking a day off. You can x-country ski and snowshoe out the door or enjoy soaking in the view from the private outdoor hot tub.

Included are: wheelchair accessibility, wifi, two-car garage with extra refrigerator and fully equipped tuning bench, comfortable even radiant heated floors, private outside hot tub with stunning views, two gas fireplaces, sunning deck with gas grill, washer/dryer, boot dryer, games, books, etc.

**Vehicles are required to have AWD with SNOW TIRES.
**Google maps will want to bring you to the lower parking lot entrance. Avoid that. The main entrance is through the large green garage door located off the main highway just before Gate E. The kitchen is on this level. There's an extra fridge in the garage.
**You'll want to get supplies before coming up the canyon. Smith's grocery store is good. They have a *click list* you can order online and pick up. I would go to the one on 3300 S. off of the belt route I-215 heading east to the ski areas. There's a state liquor store nearby.

Check In: 4pm
Check Out: 10am

Parking: 2 spots available

The best amenity of all is our on-site caretaker/manager couple, Ellie & Ryan. They have worked and lived in the canyon for more than a decade and know almost all there is to know about it from the best powder skiing stashes to Wasatch backcountry adventures, to the best restaurants, masseuses, and everything else. They are more than happy to help with transportation organization, hiring personal chefs or anything else that might make your trip more enjoyable.
