The town started as a silver-mining camp in the 1860s, and its Old Town core still shows it, a National Historic District of Victorian storefronts, galleries, and restaurants climbing up Main Street. At about 7,000 feet in Utah's Wasatch Mountains, it sits roughly 35 miles east of Salt Lake City, closer to a major airport than almost any ski town in the West.
Above Old Town, Park City Mountain is the largest ski resort in the United States, more than 7,000 acres and 300-plus runs since the two sides joined under one gondola. The Town Lift climbs straight from Main Street, and Canyons Village adds its own base, gondolas, and the heated Orange Bubble Express. Deer Valley, its own destination, rises just to the south.
The town wears its Olympic history well. It anchored the 2002 Winter Games and is set to again in 2034, and the Utah Olympic Park still runs bobsled rides, ski jumps, and free museums year-round. Summer turns the hills into one of the country's best mountain-biking networks, with hiking, golf, and the Kimball Arts Festival filling the calendar.
Our collection of Park City luxury vacation rentals runs from a walk-to-lift cottage in Old Town to a gated estate on its own acreage. In between sit ski-access homes at Canyons Village, retreats steps off Main Street, and family compounds in communities like Promontory. Every home is privately owned, thoughtfully selected, and cared for by our local team, so your stay is seamless from the moment you arrive.
