Looking to get a taste of Europe this winter but not sure you have the time (or the budget) to make it across the pond? Check out Ouray, Colorado<\/a>: a small-town gem that\u2019s affectionately known as the \u201cSwitzerland of America\u201d. As a sought-after destination for over 100 years, Ouray, Colorado is a beautifully underrated US city<\/a> that boasts a charm that draw travelers into the box canyon year after year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This small, unassuming town is nestled in a very narrow canyon in the San Juan Mountains and is surrounded on three sides by 13,000-foot peaks \u2013 talk about epic! These snow-capped peaks, combined with the quaint Victorian architecture on Main Street, create a genuine European vibe. It\u2019s easy to see how Ouray, Colorado earned its bragging rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But don\u2019t let appearances fool you \u2013 this quiet little Swiss-like town is anything but sleepy, especially when winter arrives. The rugged mountains surrounding Ouray are loaded with adventure, so let\u2019s explore this winter playground. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go Ice Climbing at Ouray Ice Park<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Ice
Ice climbing at Ouray Ice Park, Ouray, Colorado<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

While most Colorado towns claim skiing as their official winter sport, Ouray has created its own niche \u2013 ice climbing. With the world-class Ouray Ice Park right in its own backyard, athletes and adventurers come from all over the world to test their skills and,seemingly, defy gravity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ouray Ice Park is known as the top ice climbing destination in America \u2013 and possibly even the world. The park consists of frozen, man made waterfalls and stretches for more than a mile through the Uncompahgre Gorge. Ice farmers carefully cultivate more than 200 ice climbing routes through these frozen falls \u2013 with difficulties ranging from trainee to treacherous. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019ve got experience on the ice, you can head out on your own to explore (it\u2019s just a short walk from Main Street). But don\u2019t worry, there are plenty of certified guides to assist newbies who want to try this one-of-a-kind, icy adventure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you plan a trip in January, make sure to check out the Ouray Ice Festival<\/a>, which includes climbing competitions, educational seminars, and lively nighttime events with music and food. The pinnacle of this festival is to watch in awe as the world\u2019s best ice climbing talent picks its way across jagged rock faces and icicles, suspended at crazy, jaw-dropping angles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get Off the Beaten Path for Backcountry Skiing<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Back

For backcountry skiers, you\u2019re in the heart of some killer terrain. But if you really want an unforgettable experience, get way off the beaten path<\/a> and head out to OPUS Hut<\/a>. This European-style lodge is surrounded by ski slopes that are known as some of the best backcountry terrain in the U.S.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I told you Ouray, Colorado had a European flair, and nowhere is this so apparent as at OPUS Hut. Sitting at 11,600 feet, this retreat is hidden away in the mountains and can only be reached via cross-country skiing or snowshoeing. Exclusivity at its best!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you finish your 3.5 miles ski or hike to arrive at OPUS Hut, you\u2019ll be rewarded with mouth-watering, home-cooked meals, a steamy sauna, and a comfy bed. Need a nightcap? There\u2019s a bar too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, get up early and hit the powder while it\u2019s fresh!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eat, Drink, & Be Grumpy<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"The
The town of Ouray, Colorado<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

All those wintry escapades will undoubtedly leave you jonesing for a craft brew. Colorado is home to around 230 craft breweries, but my favorite of them all is located right here in Ouray. Mr. Grumpy Pants Brewing Company<\/a> (also known as Ourayle House) is an absolute must stop \u2013 just make sure to leave your pretentions at the door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The chief brewer (and heckler) is Mr. Grumpy Pants himself. He\u2019ll pour you a drink \u2013 when he gets around to it \u2013 and serve it with a frown. And if you ask for the small size, you get it in a baby bottle, you wimp. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sarcasm runs deep here, so if you\u2019re easily offended, don\u2019t read any of the dozens of handwritten signs Mr. Grumpy has hanging around the bar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re looking for a place to sit and have a friendly chat with a local brewer, this isn\u2019t it. But if you\u2019re looking for a unique, quirky place to grab a beer, get grumpy with it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Soak Up Steamy Vibes at a Local Hot Spring<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Ouray

After a few drinks, there\u2019s no better way to finish off your day than unwinding in a hot spring, bubbling up extra hot and steamy from under the Rocky Mountains. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most well-known spot in Ouray is the Ouray Hot Springs Pool<\/a>, a 750,000 gallon sulfur-free (stink-free) pool. It\u2019s actually more than one pool \u2013 there\u2019s a pool for kids, one for swimming laps, and some for just soaking. Different pools also offer different temperatures, with the hottest ones reaching up to 106 degrees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But as the most popular spot in town, the Ouray Hot Springs Pool can get a little crowded. So if you\u2019re seeking a more laidback, intimate experience, check out one of these two local hot (literally) spots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Wiesbaden Hot Springs Spa<\/a> offers two small hot springs pools \u2013 and one is underground, creating a vapor cave (think Mother Earth\u2019s all-natural sauna). Wiesbaden prides itself on its all-natural, untreated water that\u2019s packed with rejuvenating therapeutic benefits to release stress and ease aches and pains. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or if you\u2019re more of a free spirit, check out the clothing optional Orvis Hot Springs. Sink into the hot waters and soak up the majestic snowy mountains surrounding you \u2013 unmatched relaxation, with or without clothes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This winter stay stateside and plan a trip to Ouray. It\u2019s low-key but packed with adventure \u2013 a perfect winter playground for any outdoor enthusiast. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
