Start out a gold mining town, add healing hot springs, then top that with Americas first destination ski resort and you have a magic combination. Even Ernest Hemingway fell in love with and moved to Sun Valley where he completed -For Whom the Bell Tolls-, writing in the morning and hunting and fishing in the afternoon. This icon of U.S. ski resorts was the first in the world to build a chairlift, opened the first ski school in the world and can match any community in the world for the number of citizens who have competed in the Olympics. Sun Valley has become an all season playground and offers everything you will ever need for year round vacations, from downhill, heli-skiing and sleigh rides to golf, fishing, hiking and horseback riding, just to name a few, which matches the motto of the city– Small Town, Big Life. Free Wi-Fi is available in the units located at Elkhorn Village.
