After a day at the Course, and after enjoying the afternoon skiing, you will want to enjoy some of Sun Valley's special restaurants on the property. The dress code varies from very casual to something more formal, such as the Lodge Dining Room. It is suggested that gentlemen bring a jacket and the ladies include "something special" in their suitcase for dinner at the elegant French restaurant.
The Village shopping area has art galleries, jewelers, and gift shops. You will find the latest fashions in ski clothing and equipment in the ski shops. If you want a bit of added activity, you may try your skating skills on the outdoor olympic size rink.
Just beyond the Village and an easy walk from your room or condominium, you will find Sun Valley's Nordic Touring Center. There are over fifty kilometers of groomed trails for cross country skiing, many bordering on sparkling Trail Creek. Other tracks wander leisurely through aspen groves and over the rolling slopes. Sun Valley is easily accessible through these gateway cities: Boise, Idaho; Twin Falls, Idaho; and Salt Lake City, Utah. These cities are served by most major airlines and there are daily commuter flights to Hailey, Idaho, just 12 miles from Sun Valley. Complimentary ground transportation to the resort is readily available.
