Sun Valley emerged in the mid-20th century as a purpose-built ski resort and quickly gained international fame for its powder skiing, long vertical drops, and state-of-the-art lifts — notably the pioneering Ketchum-Able gondola. Beyond winter, the area transforms with bike trails, hiking routes, and seasonal festivals, centered around the compact Sun Valley village and neighboring Ketchum. Visitors come for the combination of exceptional snow, vibrant après-ski, and the ease of staying in a small, walkable resort town. The region is also known for fly fishing, trail running, and alpine golf, making Sun Valley a four-season destination within the Northern Rockies.
