Sun Valley is steeped in decades of rich alpine lore and surrounded by unparalleled natural beauty. For generations, seasoned travelers, outdoor enthusiasts and the quietly wealthy have come to the mile-high Idaho mountains to escape from urban pressures and enjoy the area's spectacular winters. Today, Sun Valley is a year-round, all-seasons destination.

From its inception in the 1930s as a destination ski resort, Sun Valley has attracted a Who's Who of artists, politicians and Hollywood stars. In 1939, Ernest Hemingway lent his larger-than-life presence to the developing scene, and the star-studded cast of White Christmas, including Bing Crosby and Rosemary Clooney, later added to the legend.

Naturally, the opportunities for outdoor recreation extend well beyond the beautiful winter season. The Sawtooth mountaints are among the West's most magnificent mountain ranges. Lovers of the outdoors can access extensive hiking trails, as well as world-class fly fishing. And for those whose adrenaline rush comes from locating the perfect objets d'art, world-class art galleries and an eclectic mix of shopping can be found just outside Les Saisons' front door.
