What Makes Alpenhof Park City Special? 🏔️
In a town with many lodging options, Alpenhof Park City stands out not because it’s the flashiest or most luxurious, but because it nails the fundamentals that make ski vacations memorable. Built in 1978, this intimate condominium complex on Park Avenue embodies the character and charm that defined Park City’s transformation from silver mining town to world-class mountain destination.
Unlike sprawling resort complexes where you’re just another room number, Alpenhof offers the warmth of a boutique property where you might recognize your neighbors from the pub the night before. The family-owned character that made this property special for decades is now enhanced through All Seasons Resort Lodging’s professional management, bringing you the best of both worlds: authentic Park City soul with modern booking convenience and quality assurance.
What guests consistently praise about Alpenhof is its honest value proposition. As one returning visitor put it perfectly: “Not ritzy or glitzy, but perfect for people who ski all day and just want somewhere clean to crash at night.” This isn’t a property trying to be something it’s not. Alpenhof is clean, comfortable, thoughtfully equipped, and positioned exactly where you need to be. You’ll spend your vacation budget on lift tickets, mountain dining, and adventure—not on unnecessary luxury amenities you’d barely use.
For travelers who appreciate authenticity over pretense, community over anonymity, and smart value over status, Alpenhof Park City delivers an experience that feels like coming home to the mountains.
Alpenhof Location: Skip the Car, Embrace the Freedom 📍
Location is everything in Park City, and Alpenhof’s Park Avenue address gives you the rare advantage of a completely car-free vacation. While some properties require shuttles, rideshares, or daily drives to reach the slopes or downtown, Alpenhof sits in the golden zone where everything you need is genuinely accessible on foot or via Park City’s excellent free transit system.
Steps from Park City Mountain Resort (But Take the Free Shuttle!)
Alpenhof is located just 0.2 miles from the base of Park City Mountain Resort—close enough that you could walk to the Crescent, Payday, and First Time chairlifts in about 10-15 minutes. But here’s the insider tip: while the distance is short, you’d be walking uphill to reach the base area. Instead, simply step outside your door and catch the free Park City transit bus that stops right at Alpenhof. Within minutes, you’re dropped at the resort base with fresh legs, ready to hit first chair.
This is the beauty of Alpenhof’s location. You get proximity without the premium pricing of true ski-in/ski-out properties (which can run $200-500+ more per night), yet your actual morning routine is just as convenient: coffee in your condo, grab your gear, walk a few steps to the bus stop, and ride to the lifts. No hunting for parking, no expensive resort parking fees, no stress.
After a full day on the mountain, that same free shuttle delivers you right back to Alpenhof’s door. Your afternoon unfolds exactly as a ski vacation should: peel off the boots, relax, and decide whether to aprés or start thinking about dinner.
Free Transit Makes Everything Accessible
Park City’s complimentary bus system is one of the town’s best-kept secrets for visitors, and Alpenhof’s location puts you at the center of it all. The bus stops directly outside the property, connecting you seamlessly to:
- Historic Main Street: A quick 5-minute ride takes you to Park City’s famous downtown, where galleries, boutique shops, and award-winning restaurants line the historic district
- Deer Valley Resort: Easy access to Park City’s other premier ski destination
- Canyons Village: Hop over to explore the Canyons side of Park City Mountain Resort, catch concerts, or dine at base area restaurants
- Kimball Junction: Quick connection to outlet shopping and additional dining options
The buses run frequently throughout the day and evening during peak seasons, with service seven days a week. Check current schedules on the Park City Mountain Village Transit Hub and Canyons Village Transit Hub for detailed route information.
This comprehensive free transit system means you can genuinely skip the rental car, saving hundreds of dollars on your vacation while reducing the stress of mountain driving, parking searches, and winter road conditions.
Walk to Everything You Need
Beyond the free transit, Alpenhof’s Park Avenue neighborhood puts daily essentials within easy walking distance:
Groceries & Provisions: Fresh Market is on Park Avenue, making it incredibly convenient to stock your full kitchen with everything from morning coffee supplies to ingredients for family dinners. Grab fresh provisions within blocks and carry them right back to your condo.
Coffee & Breakfast: Several excellent coffee shops are within a 2-3 block radius, perfect for those who prefer to start their day with a local latte before hitting the slopes or trails.
Ski & Snowboard Rentals: Multiple ski shops operate within walking distance, allowing you to rent equipment, get tuning work done, or upgrade gear without driving anywhere.
Historic Main Street: While the bus makes it easy, Main Street’s galleries, restaurants, and nightlife are also walkable—about 0.4 miles (an 8-10 minute stroll downhill). After dinner, catch the free bus back uphill to Alpenhof.
City Park: This lovely green space is just 0.3 miles away, offering summer picnic spots, playground areas for families, and a peaceful place to relax between adventures.
Park Avenue Neighborhood Character
What makes the Park Avenue area special is its residential, local feel. You’re not staying in a tourist-heavy base village with crowded lodges and resort pricing. Instead, Alpenhof sits in a neighborhood where Park City residents actually live, where you’ll encounter locals walking their dogs along the golf course, where coffee shops serve regulars by name.
This is the authentic Park City that existed long before mega-resorts arrived—a mountain town where community matters, where the pace is a bit slower, and where your vacation feels less like a commercial transaction and more like being welcomed into a special place.
For those wondering about comparing neighborhoods, our guide to Park City Mountain Village vs Canyons Village offers helpful context on how Old Town’s Park Avenue area differs from the resort villages.
Alpenhof Condos: What to Expect from Your Vacation Rental 🏡
Setting realistic expectations is crucial for vacation satisfaction, so we want to be completely transparent about what Alpenhof offers. This is a property that wins on character, convenience, and value—not on luxury appointments or resort-style amenities. Understanding exactly what you’re booking helps ensure your Alpenhof experience exceeds expectations rather than falling short.
Available Unit Configurations
Alpenhof’s 11 individually owned units vary in size and configuration, with All Seasons Resort Lodging managing select properties available for vacation rental. Most commonly, you’ll find cozy one-bedroom and spacious two-bedroom condos, each offering the essential elements for a comfortable mountain stay.
Typical sleeping capacities range from 2-6 guests depending on unit size, with floor plans generally spanning 600-1,200 square feet. Because units are individually owned, each has unique décor and furnishing choices, though all maintain clean, comfortable standards that make them excellent vacation bases.
When booking through All Seasons, our team will work with you to match the right unit configuration to your group size and needs. We’re upfront about which specific unit you’ll receive, so there are no surprises at check-in.
In-Unit Amenities & Features
Every Alpenhof condo managed by All Seasons comes equipped with the practical amenities that transform a vacation rental into a true home base:
Full Kitchen Facilities: This is where Alpenhof shines for families and groups. Each unit features a complete kitchen with full-size refrigerator, stove/oven, and microwave. You’ll find essential cookware, dishes, utensils, and basic kitchen tools, making it easy to prepare everything from morning coffee and breakfast to full family dinners. Given the Fresh Market is just down the street, provisioning your kitchen is effortless.
Comfortable Living Spaces: Generous living and dining areas give your group room to spread out after mountain days. Cozy up on the sofa, gather around for meals and games, or simply relax with mountain views through the windows.
Modern Connectivity: Cable TV and complimentary WiFi keep you connected and entertained during downtime, though you’ll likely spend most of your time outdoors or exploring Park City.
Communal Laundry: Alpenhof offers a washer and dryer for guests to use, allowing you to pack lighter and refresh clothes mid-stay—especially valuable for longer visits or families with children.
Honest Characterization: Cozy Comfort, Not Glitzy Luxury
We believe in transparent communication, so here’s the truth: Alpenhof isn’t trying to compete with Park City’s luxury lodging properties. You won’t find marble countertops, high-end designer furnishings, or spa-like bathrooms. The building dates to 1978 and while units have been updated over the years, they maintain a cozy, residential character rather than resort polish.
But here’s what matters—as previous guests have noted, Alpenhof is “perfect for people who ski all day and just want somewhere clean to crash at night.” The property is meticulously maintained, reliably comfortable, and thoughtfully equipped with what you actually need. You’ll sleep well in quality beds, cook easily in functional kitchens, and genuinely relax in welcoming spaces.
The value proposition is compelling: rather than spending $400-800 per night for luxury you’d barely use (because you’re busy skiing, hiking, or exploring Park City), you invest in a clean, comfortable, perfectly located base for $200-400 less. That savings buys a lot of lift tickets, mountain dining experiences, and adventure activities.
Alpenhof is ideal for travelers who prioritize authentic mountain experiences over Instagram-worthy interiors, who’d rather spend their vacation budget on doing things rather than looking at things, and who appreciate the genuine character of a property with history and personality.
Shared Community Amenities
Beyond your private condo, Alpenhof offers several shared amenities that enhance your stay:
Free Parking: Alpenhof provides both outdoor parking spaces and some covered options for guests. While we emphasize that you truly don’t need a car given the free transit and walkability, if you do drive to Park City, you’ll have reliable, complimentary parking—a significant perk when many Park City properties charge daily parking fees.
Laundry Facilities: Depending on your specific unit (some have in-unit laundry), community laundry facilities are available seasonally for guest use.
What Alpenhof Doesn’t Have: Setting proper expectations, Alpenhof does not feature a swimming pool, fitness center, spa services, or on-site restaurant. If these amenities are important to your vacation experience, consider exploring our Park City luxury rentals that offer resort-style features.
For comprehensive details on specific unit amenities or to discuss which Alpenhof condo best fits your needs, our team at All Seasons Resort Lodging is available seven days a week at 888-575-2775.

Alpenhof Throughout the Seasons: Year-Round Mountain Escape 🌲❄️☀️🍂
While Alpenhof’s proximity to Park City Mountain Resort naturally positions it as an excellent ski vacation base, limiting your thinking to winter would mean missing three other seasons of mountain magic. Park City transforms beautifully throughout the year, and Alpenhof’s location and amenities serve as an ideal headquarters for every season’s adventures.
Winter: Ski-In, Shuttle-Out Convenience ⛷️
Winter is when Alpenhof truly shines. From late November through early April, Park City Mountain Resort operates as one of North America’s largest ski resorts, with over 7,300 acres of terrain spread across the combined Park City and Canyons sides of the mountain.
Your typical ski day from Alpenhof looks like this: Wake up naturally (no rushing to catch distant shuttles), enjoy coffee and breakfast in your full kitchen, layer up and grab your gear from the convenient storage hooks, step outside to catch the free Park City transit, and arrive at the base lifts within minutes. That nearby free shuttle eliminates the uphill walk while getting you to first chair with fresh legs.
Between runs, you’re close enough to shuttle back to Alpenhof for lunch in your own kitchen—a huge money-saver for families who’d otherwise pay resort prices for mediocre food. Late afternoon, return to your condo to peel off the boots, warm up by the fireplace, and soak in the hot tub before deciding on evening plans.
The free transit also makes it easy to explore Deer Valley Resort (just a short bus ride), check out the Canyons Village side of Park City Mountain, or head to Main Street for après-ski at legendary spots. Our guide to the best Main Street Park City restaurants helps you plan memorable dinners.
Winter at Alpenhof also means cross-country skiing at the Park City Municipal Golf Course transforms into groomed Nordic trails, offering a completely different mountain experience just a few blocks from your condo.
Holiday weeks bring special magic to Park City, with Main Street dressed in lights, special events throughout town, and the world-famous Sundance Film Festival in late January. Alpenhof’s location puts you close to the action while providing a peaceful retreat from the festival crowds.
Summer: Alpine Adventure Base 🌄
Summer transforms Park City into an outdoor recreation paradise, and Alpenhof’s location proves just as convenient for warm-weather adventures as it does for skiing.
Park City is an IMBA Gold-rated mountain biking community, meaning trails accessible from all locations. The Park City Mountain Resort bike park operates lifts in summer, carrying mountain bikers and their rigs uphill for thrilling descents on purpose-built trails. From Alpenhof, catch the free shuttle to the base area or just pedal over and spend your day exploring 400+ miles of singletrack.
Hiking opportunities abound, from easy paths to challenging mountain ascents. Our 7 Best Hikes in Park City guide provides detailed recommendations for all skill levels, many accessible via the free transit from Alpenhof.
Family fun includes the Park City Alpine Slides and Coasters. The famous Alpine Coaster is just 0.3 miles from Alpenhof, providing thrilling downhill rides with stunning mountain views.
Summer also brings Concert on the Slopes at Canyons Village—free outdoor concerts every Thursday evening throughout summer, easily accessible via free transit from Alpenhof.
The advantage of summer at Alpenhof extends beyond activities—rates drop significantly compared to peak winter pricing. You get the same great location, the same comfortable accommodations, but at substantial savings. Plus, Park City’s 7,000-foot elevation means pleasant temperatures when many U.S. destinations are sweltering.
Spring & Fall: Peaceful Mountain Retreat 🍁
Shoulder seasons at Alpenhof offer the best of both worlds: fewer crowds and value pricing, yet excellent access to outdoor activities and Park City’s vibrant town atmosphere.
Spring (April-May): Skiing often extends into April at Park City Mountain Resort, with spring conditions offering warmer temperatures and excellent corn snow. Once the lifts close, hiking and biking trails begin opening as snowmelt recedes. Spring represents tremendous value, with rates significantly lower than peak winter yet much of the snow sports season still available.
Fall (September-November): Autumn might be Park City’s most underrated season. Aspen groves along the golf course and surrounding mountains explode in golden color, creating stunning photography and hiking conditions. Temperatures are perfect for outdoor activities—cool mornings, pleasant afternoons, crisp evenings by your Alpenhof fireplace. Mountain biking conditions are prime, with dry trails and no summer heat.
Fall also brings special events like the Park City Film Series and various food and wine festivals. Main Street’s galleries host special exhibitions, and restaurants offer seasonal menus highlighting autumn ingredients.
For travelers seeking peaceful mountain experiences without crowds or peak pricing, spring and fall at Alpenhof deliver exceptional value. You’ll have more space on trails, easier restaurant reservations, and a more relaxed pace that lets you genuinely experience Park City rather than just visit it.
Getting to Alpenhof: Transportation Made Simple 🚌
One of the most common vacation rental questions is “Should we rent a car?” For Alpenhof guests, the answer is genuinely optional—and many guests find going car-free actually enhances their Park City experience.
Airport Arrival Options
Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC) sits approximately 35-40 minutes from Park City via Interstate 80 and State Route 224. Several transportation options connect the airport to Alpenhof:
Shared Shuttle Services: Multiple companies operate shared-ride shuttles between SLC Airport and Park City properties. This economical option typically costs $40-60 per person and drops you directly at Alpenhof’s door. Book in advance for best availability.
Private Shuttles & Car Services: For groups or those preferring direct service, private shuttles and car services run $150-250 for up to 6-7 passengers. Your driver takes you directly to Alpenhof with no stops.
Rideshare (Uber/Lyft): Generally available from SLC Airport to Park City for $80-120 depending on demand and time of day. This offers flexibility and door-to-door convenience.
Rental Cars: If you plan to explore beyond Park City or simply prefer having a vehicle, rental cars are available at SLC Airport. However, consider the additional costs: rental fees, gas, and the fact that you’ll barely use the car given Alpenhof’s walkability and free transit access.
For comprehensive guidance on all transportation options, detailed directions, and insider tips, read our complete Salt Lake City Airport to Park City Transportation Guide.
The Car-Free Advantage
Here’s why many Alpenhof guests skip the rental car entirely and report it as one of their best vacation decisions:
Free Transit Covers Everything: Park City’s complimentary bus system connects you to ski lifts, Main Street, Deer Valley, Canyons Village, and Kimball Junction shopping. The bus stops directly at Alpenhof, runs frequently throughout the day, and eliminates all transportation stress and cost.
Walkability Adds Flexibility: When you want groceries, coffee, or a quick errand, everything is within a few blocks. You’re not dependent on bus schedules for basic needs.
No Parking Hassles: Park City Mountain Resort charges for day parking during peak seasons. Main Street parking can be challenging. Going car-free means you never hunt for parking, never pay parking fees, and never worry about snow-covered streets or winter driving.
Significant Cost Savings: Skip the $400-700 rental car cost for a week, plus gas, plus parking fees. That savings buys a lot of vacation memories—extra ski days, nice dinners, activity tickets for the family.
Environmental Benefits: If sustainability matters to you, a car-free Park City vacation significantly reduces your carbon footprint while proving that mountain vacations don’t require personal vehicles.
If You Do Drive to Alpenhof
Should you decide to rent a car or drive your own vehicle, Alpenhof provides free parking including outdoor spaces and some covered parking options. This is a genuine advantage, as many Park City properties charge $15-30 per night for parking.
Having a car allows spontaneous exploration beyond Park City—Salt Lake City restaurants and culture, Heber Valley adventures, or day trips to other Utah ski resorts. Just know that for your daily Park City activities, the car will likely sit idle while you use the free transit.
Grocery Delivery Option
Want to skip airport rental cars entirely yet arrive to a fully stocked kitchen? Several local services offer grocery delivery to Park City vacation rentals. Place your order before arrival, and provisions await you at Alpenhof when you check in.
The bottom line: Alpenhof’s location genuinely supports car-free vacations better than most Park City properties. Embrace the freedom, save the money, and enjoy a simpler, more relaxed mountain getaway.
Planning Your Alpenhof Vacation: Practical Tips 💡
The difference between a good vacation and a great one often comes down to smart planning. These practical tips help you maximize your Alpenhof stay from booking through check-out.
Before You Arrive
Book Early for Best Selection: Alpenhof’s intimate 11-unit size means availability is limited compared to larger properties. Especially for peak winter dates, holiday weeks, or summer festival periods, booking 3-6 months in advance ensures you secure your preferred dates.
Consider Travel Protection: We genuinely recommend purchasing our Travel Protection Plan within 48 hours of booking. Mountain weather, family emergencies, and unexpected work situations happen—travel protection means you can cancel if necessary and receive a full refund.
Pre-Shop for Groceries: If you’re flying in and going car-free, create your grocery list in advance. Either arrange grocery delivery or plan a post-arrival walk to Fresh Market. Having basics in your kitchen (coffee, breakfast items, snacks, beverages) makes your first morning seamless.
Buy Lift Tickets Online: Park City Mountain Resort offers advance purchase discounts on lift tickets. Buying online days or weeks before arrival can save $20-40 per ticket compared to walk-up window prices. Visit parkcitymountain.com for advance ticket options.
Review Transit Schedules: Familiarize yourself with Park City’s free transit routes and schedules at parkcity.org. Understanding bus timing helps you plan ski days, dinner reservations, and evening activities efficiently.
Arrange Ski Rentals: Multiple ski shops within walking distance of Alpenhof offer equipment rentals. Book in advance for best selection and potential discounts. Some shops offer free overnight storage, allowing you to keep equipment at their location rather than transporting it daily.
During Your Stay
Establish Your Morning Routine: Successful ski days start with smooth mornings. Prep your gear the night before using Alpenhof’s boot trays and hanging hooks. Set coffee to auto-brew. Check the free bus schedule so you catch a convenient shuttle to the lifts. Arriving at first chair sets you up for the best snow conditions and shortest lift lines.
Utilize the Kitchen: Eating all meals at restaurants adds up fast—$60-100+ per meal for a family. Alpenhof’s full kitchen means you can prepare big breakfasts to fuel mountain days, pack lunches to eat on the slopes, and cook several dinners throughout your stay. The money you save on meals can fund extra ski days or activities.
Explore Free Transit Connections: Don’t limit yourself to just skiing. Catch the bus to Main Street for happy hour, explore Canyons Village restaurants, or visit Kimball Junction for outlet shopping. The free transit makes Park City feel accessible and manageable.
Day Trip Ideas: If you have extra days or non-skiers in your group, Park City’s location enables excellent day trips. Salt Lake City’s museums and dining are 30-40 minutes away. Heber Valley offers scenic drives and the Heber Valley Railroad. Utah Olympic Park (site of 2002 Winter Olympics) provides tours and winter activities.
Who is Alpenhof Perfect For?
Understanding ideal fit helps ensure vacation satisfaction. Alpenhof excels for:
Value-Conscious Skiers & Outdoor Enthusiasts: You want proximity to the mountain without paying ski-in/ski-out premiums. You’d rather spend vacation budget on experiences than unnecessary luxury.
Families with Children: The full kitchen saves money on meals and accommodates picky eaters.
Couples Seeking Authentic Experiences: You prefer boutique charm over corporate resorts. You value neighborhoods over tourist zones. Quiet evenings by the fireplace appeal more than resort nightlife.
Small Groups (2-6 People): Whether friends on a ski trip or extended family, Alpenhof’s unit sizes work well for small groups who want to share a home base rather than booking separate hotel rooms.
Car-Free Travelers: You love the idea of flying in, taking a shuttle, and never worrying about driving or parking throughout your stay.
Repeat Park City Visitors: You know the area and appreciate that Alpenhof offers something different from the properties you’ve tried—more authentic, more residential, better value.
Year-Round Mountain Lovers: You recognize that Park City offers more than winter skiing and want a comfortable base for summer hiking, fall mountain biking, or spring adventures.
Who Might Prefer Alternatives?
Being honest about fit helps everyone. Alpenhof may not be ideal if you:
Require Ski-In/Ski-Out Convenience: If walking a few steps to catch the free shuttle feels like too much effort, consider true ski-in/ski-out properties like Sundial Lodge, LIFT Park City, or Apex Residences.
Want Resort Amenities: If swimming pools, fitness centers, spa services, and on-site restaurants matter significantly to your vacation experience, explore our luxury Park City rentals or properties like Newpark Resort.
Need Large Group Accommodations: Alpenhof’s 1-2 bedroom units work for 2-6 people but won’t accommodate larger groups. For bigger families or friend groups, consider our 4+ bedroom units or group lodging services.
Prioritize Main Street Nightlife: If walking distance to bars and evening entertainment is crucial, properties right on Historic Main Street like Town Lift Condos might better match your priorities.
Understanding these distinctions helps you book the property that genuinely fits your vacation style, leading to higher satisfaction and better memories.
Alpenhof vs. Other Park Avenue Properties: How to Choose 🤔
If you’re considering Alpenhof, you’ve likely encountered other Park Avenue area properties in your research. Here’s an honest comparison to help you decide which option best fits your needs.
Alpenhof vs. Park Avenue Condominiums
Park Avenue Condominiums sits just down the street from Alpenhof on the Park City Municipal Golf Course, with similar proximity to Park City Mountain Resort and Main Street. Here’s how they differ:
Size & Scale: Park Avenue Condominiums is a much larger complex with significantly more units, while Alpenhof’s 11-unit boutique size creates a more intimate, neighborly atmosphere. If you prefer smaller properties where you might recognize faces or value the feeling of staying somewhere more exclusive, Alpenhof wins. If you want more unit availability and don’t mind a larger complex, Park Avenue works well.
Amenities: Park Avenue Condominiums offers a year-round outdoor heated pool in addition to hot tubs, tennis courts, and a clubhouse—more comprehensive amenities than Alpenhof. For families who want pool access or tennis players, this tips the scales toward Park Avenue. If these extras don’t matter to you, Alpenhof’s simpler approach offers better value.
Character: Alpenhof has slightly more historic charm (built 1978 vs. Park Avenue’s 1973-1975 construction), though both properties reflect that authentic 1970s Park City condo era. The difference in character is subtle—both offer cozy, residential mountain lodging rather than modern resort styling.
Pricing: Alpenhof units generally run slightly less expensive than comparable Park Avenue units, reflecting the amenity difference. Your savings might be $25-75 per night depending on season and unit size.
Bottom Line: Both properties excel for the same reasons—excellent Park Avenue location, free transit access, golf course setting, walkability. Choose Park Avenue Condominiums if the pool and tennis courts matter to your group. Choose Alpenhof if you prefer boutique intimacy and slightly better value.
Alpenhof vs. Ski-In/Ski-Out Properties
This comparison comes up frequently: Is it worth paying significantly more for true ski-in/ski-out access?
The Math: Premium ski-in/ski-out properties at Canyons Village or Park City Mountain Village typically run $200-500+ more per night than Alpenhof. Over a week-long stay, that’s $1,400-3,500 in additional costs.
The Convenience Trade: Ski-in/ski-out means you walk out your door and click into your skis. Alpenhof means you walk a few steps to catch the free shuttle for a short ride to the base. Honest assessment: this is maybe 5-10 minutes difference in your morning routine.
The Value Question: What would you do with an extra $1,500-3,000 in your vacation budget? That’s potentially 5-7 additional full-day lift tickets for your family, several nice dinners at Park City’s best restaurants, equipment rentals, activities like the Alpine Coaster or Utah Olympic Park experiences, or simply money that stays in your savings.
For many families and value-conscious travelers, Alpenhof’s “walk-to-shuttle, shuttle-to-lifts” approach offers 95% of the convenience at 50-70% of the cost. That equation makes sense for a lot of vacation budgets.
However, if you’re traveling with elderly family members who find the shuttle routine challenging, have very young children where every transition adds complexity, or simply value the ultimate in skiing convenience and have the budget for it, ski-in/ski-out properties like Sundial Lodge or The Lodge at Mountain Village make sense.
Alpenhof vs. Downtown Main Street Lodging
Another common comparison: Should you prioritize ski access or Main Street proximity?
Alpenhof’s Advantage: Closer to ski lifts (shuttle ride vs. longer shuttle from Main Street), easier grocery access, quieter residential setting, golf course views, and better value pricing.
Main Street Advantage: Walking distance to Park City’s nightlife, restaurants, bars, galleries, and entertainment. Après-ski doesn’t require a bus ride. Historic district atmosphere and architecture.
Best Choice For: Choose Alpenhof if skiing/outdoor activities are your primary focus and you’re okay catching the bus for Main Street dinners and nightlife. Choose downtown Main Street properties if you want to walk out your door into restaurant and bar options, or if your group includes non-skiers who’ll spend more time exploring town than on the mountain.
The honest answer is both locations work beautifully—it just depends on whether your vacation centers on mountain activities (Alpenhof wins) or town exploration (Main Street wins). For most ski-focused visitors, Alpenhof’s location proves more practical.

Kitchen Advantage
Remember that Alpenhof’s full kitchens represent a significant dining advantage. Families can prepare big breakfasts before ski days, pack lunches to save $15-20 per person daily, and cook several dinners throughout the week. Restaurant meals become special occasions rather than budget-draining necessities. Over a week, kitchen access easily saves families $300-600 on dining costs.
The combination of Alpenhof’s kitchen, nearby groceries, walkable casual options, and free transit to Main Street’s dining scene gives you maximum flexibility for every meal and every budget.

Booking Terms & Policies
Understanding our policies helps you book with confidence:
Deposit & Payment Schedule: When booking, a 20% deposit is required upfront to secure your dates. The remaining balance is due 30 days before your arrival. All payments automatically charge to your credit card on file on the due date, making it easy to manage your reservation.
Flexible Cancellation Window: You can cancel within 48 hours of booking for reservations made more than 32 days before arrival without penalties—our way of giving you time to feel certain about your plans.
Standard Cancellation Terms: Reservations canceled at least 30 days before arrival forfeit the 20% deposit, while cancellations within 30 days are non-refundable. After final payment is made, no refunds are available even for date changes.
Travel Protection Highly Recommended: Given the non-refundable nature of vacation rentals close to arrival dates, we genuinely recommend purchasing our Travel Protection Plan within 48 hours of booking. This enables full refunds if you must cancel due to unforeseeable circumstances like illness, work emergencies, or other covered situations. View complete details on our Reservation Policies page.
Last-Minute Bookings: Reservations made within 30 days of your stay date require full payment upfront and are fully non-refundable. If booking within 48 hours of arrival, payment must be made immediately at booking and is non-refundable.
Check-In & Check-Out
Standard Times: Check-in begins at 4:00 PM, and check-out is at 11:00 AM. These times allow our team to complete thorough cleaning and property inspections between guests.
Early Arrival or Late Departure: If you need flexibility on timing, contact our team when booking to discuss options. While we can’t guarantee early check-in or late checkout (it depends on property schedule), we’ll do our best to accommodate.
Arrival Instructions: Prior to your arrival, you’ll receive detailed check-in instructions including directions to Alpenhof, parking information, unit access details, and our local contact information. You’ll arrive fully prepared and confident.
Take Advantage of Special Programs
True Blue Perks: Once you’ve stayed with All Seasons, you automatically receive 10% off all future bookings. Your Alpenhof vacation could be the first of many Park City stays with ongoing savings.
Current Promotions: Check our Park City lodging deals page for seasonal specials, last-minute offers, and value packages that might make your Alpenhof stay even more affordable.

Your Park City Adventure Awaits at Alpenhof
Standing at the intersection of authentic mountain character and genuine convenience, Alpenhof Park City represents something increasingly precious in modern ski resort towns: a property that hasn’t forgotten what mountain vacations are really about. Not about marble countertops or Instagram-worthy lobbies, but about the simple pleasure of returning to a cozy condo after a bluebird ski day, of cooking breakfast while watching golfers tee off against alpine backdrops, of walking three blocks to buy groceries for family dinners, of soaking in the hot tub under a canopy of stars.
Whether you’re chasing powder at Park City Mountain Resort, exploring hundreds of miles of hiking and biking trails, catching free summer concerts, or simply escaping to the mountains for restorative peace, Alpenhof puts you in the heart of Park City’s best neighborhood. Small enough to feel like your mountain home rather than just another rental, yet professionally managed to deliver the standards and support modern travelers expect.
Your vacation receives personalized attention from a local team that understands both the emotional and practical value of mountain getaways. We’re not a corporate entity managing thousands of properties across dozens of destinations—we’re Park City people caring for Park City properties and guests who love the same mountains we call home.

Your Park City story starts here, at Alpenhof—where authentic mountain character meets the convenience and peace of mind you deserve.
