Summer Recreation
There are countless ways to enjoy the alpine terrain that don't require a single snowflake. No wonder locals and visitors treasure mountain getaways in the summer as much as (or even more than) they do in winter's primetime.
Kayak, canoe, water ski or sail on the Jordanelle Reservoir's idyllic 3,000 acres, or plan a relaxed picnic on the swim beach. Fly-fish along the blue-ribbon waters of the Provo and Green Rivers, or river raft through dramatic red rock canyons. Golf on more than a half-dozen nearby championship-caliber courses, or saddle up for a Reins ‘n Trains adventure on the Heber Valley Railroad.
Thrill-seekers can head to Park City Mountain for three heart-pounding rides. The Alpine Slide is one of the longest slides in the world with more than 3,000 feet of track. The ZipRider is a zipline that soars 100 feet in the air over treetops at speeds up to 45 miles per hour. Or there's the Alpine Coaster, a mountain track that flies more than a mile over curves, bends and hills. Hot-air balloon trips are another unconventional option, available in half-hour and one-hour flights, some with the pampering extras of a continental breakfast, champagne and flight certificate.
As spring arrives, Compass Sports becomes the resort's center for recreation during your mountain getaway. A network of mountain trails and lifts, covering over 300 miles, inspire guided and self-guided hiking and biking tours in a wide variety of terrain - ranging from aspen and pine forests with glacial waterfalls to charming city streets and historic mining sites. Deer Valley's® high-speed chairlifts are also a popular way to enjoy spectacular alpine beauty without the rigorous ascent. Whether it's your first time on the mountain or you're a trail expert, our Montage Mountain Hosts will guide your every step.
At Montage Deer Valley, the warmer months beckon all to linger outdoors by the Alpine Pool & Deck, gather on the grassy event lawns for games of badminton, bocce and croquet, and share conversation - and s'mores - by the fire pit under the starry, forest-ringed sky.
