UTAH

The mountains are calling … and it’s time to experience “Life Elevated”

From the peaks of the Wasatch mountains to the lively urban oasis of Salt Lake, Utah combines all that is adventurous, trendy, and eclectic with a stunning mountain backdrop.

Utah is a true four-season destination that boasts to have “The Greatest Snow on Earth” and a mild, dry, yet warm summer. Outdoor enthusiasts thrive with the abundance of recreation in Park City and Deer Valley while still enjoying the vibrant energy of Salt Lake City, less than 45 minutes away. This is one of the many reasons why you hear many locals say “I came for the winter but stayed for the summer”

As the proud host of the 2002 Winter Olympics and annual Sundance Film Festival, Salt Lake City and Park City offer an array of world-class facilities that are authentically rooted in Utah’s rich history and heritage. Utah is also currently bidding for the 2030 or 2034 Olympics! Just imagine your next awards dinner or corporate retreat at any of these unique venues that were used and potentially will be used again by Olympians from all around the world.

Utah is not simply a destination, but a journey full of “Life Elevated” experiences that will entice all the senses and have you feeling a little salty upon leaving our beautiful state.

ACCESSIBILITY

With over 350 flights arriving daily to 95 nonstop destinations, the new, cutting edge Salt Lake City International Airport welcomes you with a convenient 15-minute transfer to downtown Salt Lake City and an easy 45-minute transfer to the Park City and Deer Valley Mountain Resorts.

OLYMPIC HERITAGE

Along with the 2002 Winter Olympics came the development and infrastructure of world-class training facilities that still bring in domestic and international athletes to train and perform with the one focus – GOLD! Here, visitors can test their nerve with a ride on the bobsled or explore the interactive Olympic and History of Skiing Museums.

OUTDOOR ADVENTURE

Salt Lake City is known as Ski City due to the five world-class ski resorts within an hour drive, but the summers offer endless adventures from miles of hiking and biking trails, rafting, and fly fishing. If action and an adrenaline rush isn’t your thing, choose to sit back and enjoy a breath of fresh mountain air with a local Uinta beer or High West whiskey in hand, or take a stroll through the multitude of locally owned boutiques and art galleries on Historic Main Street Park City and downtown Salt Lake.

AWARD-WINNING LOCAL FOOD & BEVERAGE

Fresh powder may be the draw, but Utah’s food and drink scene is also quickly gaining momentum. Enjoy unparalleled views and elevated dining at many world-class, award-winning restaurants, craft breweries, and distilleries. In 2020 alone, five Utah chefs were nominated as finalists for James Beard awards.
