Sun Valley is known for its unbeatable ski slopes, with diverse terrain and scenic views along Bald and Dollar Mountains. There’s nothing like tackling one of Baldy’s agility courses or gliding down a family-friendly path on Dollar’s sun-kissed face.

But the valley has plenty to offer beyond alpine skiing, ranging from extraordinary local restaurants and independent shops, to recreation opportunities aplenty in any season. The region boasts more than 400 miles of single-track mountain bike trails, 200 kilometers of groomed Nordic skiing trails, and exceptional fly fishing that draws anglers from around the world. Not to mention the thriving arts and culture scene featuring galleries, performing arts venues, and historic institutions.

But if offbeat attractions is what you’re looking for, you’ve come to the right place. From a mountaintop restaurant to an independent library and possibly the clearest night skies you’ll experience in your life, these are some of our favorite spots in Sun Valley.
