About the Hotel
Vista Verde Guest Ranch is a Relais & Châteaux property in the Elk River Valley north of Steamboat Springs, consistently recognized as one of the top all-inclusive guest ranches in the United States. The ranch's spa includes a sauna and hot tub overlooking the Zirkel Wilderness of the Medicine Bow-Routt National Forests, at 7,800 feet in the Colorado high country. The Nordic skiing tradition at Vista Verde is among the most developed on any private ranch in Colorado, with groomed trails through aspen groves and the Elk River Valley — a sauna-and-Nordic combination that reflects the Scandinavian heritage of the Steamboat Springs area, which was built by early 20th-century Norwegian and Swedish immigrants who founded the ski culture.
