You don’t have to be a skier to stay at Aspen’s Tyrolean Lodge but if you are, you’re in for a treat.
The Tyrolean is celebrating its 50th anniversary this winter. It’s a holdover from when small ski lodges rather than mammoth luxury properties dominated the Aspen scene.
The late Lou and Lynne Wille opened the Tyrolean in 1970. It’s still in the family, now operated by one of their sons, Pierre Wille. Pierre and his two siblings don’t have any plans to sell out, even though Aspen real estate prices continue to break new barriers nearly every year.
