Sundance is one of those magical places that combines breathtaking nature, taste-making culture, and fun. Robert Redford bought the resort in 1968, and ever since this beautiful ski resort in the mountains of Utah has been a true cultural center. Redford has gone out of his way to make preservation and respect of nature one of the tenets of Sundance’s mission. Naturalists and Hollywood stars mix in this mountain paradise, which was named after Redford’s character in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

Each January, thousands of Hollywood’s film elite descend upon Sundance and Park City for Redford’s Sundance Film Festival, which is the largest independent film festival in the US. The Sundance Ski Resort was named one of the top two ski resorts in America by Conde Nast Travel and is one of Travel Leisure’s top hotels. As soon as you step foot here, there will be no question why.
