Olympian's Aerie

The 2002 Games left an enduring legacy at Utah Olympic Park, just minutes from Main Street. The facilities have been maintained, and many Olympic competitors and teams still train at the world-class facility. Visitors can watch the athletes exercise, and in the case of bobsledding, they can even join in on some Olympic-style action.
The Luxury Package delivers the lodge’s crème de la crème experience, which whisks guests to
Park City by Learjet and ushers them
to the lodge
by limousine. |
Billed as The Comet, you can ride the four-man bobsled (three riders with a professional driver at the helm) down the Olympic course, negotiating all 14 curves (in summer it runs on wheels). No mere athletic roller coaster, the bobsled is a rough ride that reaches speeds exceeding 80 mph. The trip lasts less than a minute, but bragging rights never expire.
If wine connoisseurship is more your speed, you need not concern yourself with Utah’s liquor laws while at the lodge. Stein Eriksen’s newly completed wine cellar boasts a 10,000-bottle capacity, making it the largest in the state. The sommelier will help you match your wine to the Glitretind restaurant’s fine cuisine.
Stein Eriksen’s Mountain Luxury Package delivers the lodge’s crème de la crème experience. Guests are whisked to Park City by Learjet and ushered to the lodge by limousine. Upon arriving, they enjoy the attention of a personal butler for the duration of their five-night, six-day stay in a suite comprised of a master bedroom with a fireplace; a large fully equipped kitchen; a living room with a fireplace; a private hot tub; and beautiful mountain views.
