The Neighborhood:
Brush Creek Village is a small, charming residential area of Aspen, Colorado, nestled in the scenic Roaring Fork Valley. The village lies to the northwest of Aspen, just off Highway 82, 3 miles to Snowmass Village. It serves as a gateway to the surrounding mountains, offering stunning views of the nearby peaks and valleys, including the iconic Mount Sopris to the southwest. Boasting views of Top of Highlands ski mountain, Snowmass ski area, views of Brush Creek mountain with Elk habitat
One of the standout features of Brush Creek Village is its natural beauty. The area is surrounded by lush forests, streams, and open meadows, making it an ideal spot for outdoor enthusiasts who enjoy hiking, biking, and fishing. The village is also conveniently located near the Aspen/Pitkin County Airport, offering easy access to the resort town of Aspen while being far enough away to maintain a quieter, more laid-back atmosphere.
Brush Creek Village is also home to some upscale homes and developments, which blend seamlessly into the environment with mountain-style architecture. Though it's a peaceful area, it's just a short drive from Aspen's world-class ski resorts, dining, and shopping options, making it a great option for those looking for a more serene base while still being close to the excitement of the Aspen area.
Additionally, Brush Creek has proximity to important outdoor and recreational areas, including the popular Snowmass and Buttermilk ski resorts, making it a desirable location for year-round residents and visitors.

The Chalet was originally built by Werner and Dory, both born and raised in Switzerland, as a vacation home until they retired in the mid 1990s
The design of the home reflects chalet mountain living that is enjoyed in the Canton of Aargau, and Lucerne where they originally came from.
Chalet 976 also features some of Dory’s oil paintings of the Swiss landscape.
The home is situated on the sunny southside of The Brush Creek Village Mountainside with expansive views of brush Creek Mountain, Hunter Creek, Woody Creek, and of course, the famed Snowmass Mountain Ski area and the top of Aspen Highlands ski area, along with Loges Peak and the side of Highlands bowl. From Chalet 976 you will enjoy a virtually panoramic view.
The chalet continues to remain in the family. Rolf, a resident of Aspen since 1976 manages the newly renovated lower level of the chalet 976.
