Aspen’s skyline is changing again — and at the heart of it all rises Chalet Alpina. A next-generation luxury development set at the base of Aspen Mountain in the historic Lift One corridor. With architecture by Guerin Glass Architects, interiors by Martin Brudnizki Design Studio, and development partners Irongate Group and HayMax Capital, Chalet Alpina could be “Aspen’s most anticipated new address.”
But what does this mean for travelers planning Aspen Rentals or for those watching Aspen’s luxury landscape evolve?
Let’s take a closer look — and explore how Aspen Luxury Vacation Rentals helps guests experience the best of Aspen living today, even as tomorrow’s icons take shape.

Along South Aspen Street and Dean Street, Chalet Alpina is the anchor of the Lift One Corridor redevelopment. According to Aspen Journalism, the development blends lodging, residential space, and new ski infrastructure to reconnect Aspen’s past with its modern alpine future.
Planned features include:
- A rooftop pool and wellness spa
- Private ski shop and club spaces
- Signature dining and après-ski venues
- Restored historic chalet buildings. One transforming into a ski museum and another into a fine dining restaurant, as detailed by Forbes.
The result will be a seamless balance between Aspen’s storied ski heritage and the elevated hospitality of a world-class resort.
What Chalet Alpina Signals for the Aspen Rental Market
For discerning travelers and property owners alike, Chalet Alpina represents more than a new hotel. It’s a signal of how luxury mountain living is evolving.
As Avant Garde Aspen reports, the project’s mix of residences, fractional ownerships, and private suites will redefine the way visitors experience the Aspen lifestyle.
- Ultra-luxury demand continues to rise — full-ownership residences and fractional resort units are achieving record prices, often surpassing $10,000 per sq ft.
- Lifestyle-driven amenities — wellness spas, club lounges, and on-site concierge programs — now define what renters expect in top-tier mountain properties.
- Ski-in/ski-out access remains the ultimate luxury, blending convenience with exclusivity.
That’s where Aspen Luxury Vacation Rentals excels. Our portfolio of Aspen Rentals — from slopeside chalets to downtown penthouses — already offers the level of service, design, and access that properties like Chalet Alpina aim to deliver on a grand scale.
