About Solitude Village
Solitude Mountain Resort sits about 34 miles from Salt Lake City International Airport, up Big Cottonwood Canyon. At its center is the Village, a Bavarian-styled, pedestrian-only cluster of restaurants, shops, a spa and lodging next to the Apex Express and Sunrise lifts. Brighton Resort is just up the canyon.
It is a village you can walk. Once you are parked, the lifts, dinner and the pool are all on foot.
Solitude is not only a winter place. In summer the resort runs a bike park and disc golf, and trailheads and Silver Lake are close by. Guests also use our area services for groceries, catering, babysitting and more.
