Alpen Way Chalet Mountain Lodge

Quiet Mountain Escape Close to the Music

A charming and rustic lodge nestled in the scenic hills of Evergreen, Colorado, Alpen Way Chalet Mountain Lodge offers a peaceful, nature-filled retreat just 18 miles from the legendary Red Rocks Amphitheatre. Set amid gardens, trees, and mountain views, this lodge feels like a cozy home base for music lovers looking to unwind after a high-energy show.

Why Concert-goers love it

The location strikes the perfect balance — close enough to Red Rocks for a quick drive back after a show, yet far enough to enjoy a serene night’s sleep away from the crowd. With free parking and easy access to hiking and skiing, it’s ideal for those extending their concert trip into a mountain weekend. The hot tub is a big hit with guests looking to relax post-show, and free WiFi means you can upload your concert pics without a hitch.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking for a cozy getaway with shared outdoor spaces and BBQ facilities
• Solo travelers chasing their dream gig in a scenic setting
• Couples combining live music with a romantic mountain weekend
• Fans who want a quiet retreat to recharge after the encore
• Budget-conscious travelers who want value without sacrificing comfort

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, many of the lodge’s units include fully equipped kitchens and BBQ grills for DIY dining. Evergreen’s charming downtown, full of cozy cafés and local eateries, is just minutes away. Notably, there’s a grocery store nearby — handy for stocking up after a show and fixing a late-night snack or a lazy breakfast the next day.

Nightlife Options

This is more of a “stars and serenity” kind of stay. While there’s no on-site bar or live music, you’ll find some local pubs and wine bars in Evergreen, many with a low-key, mountain-town vibe. And of course, Red Rocks itself is the main nightlife draw — and just a short drive away.

What People Say

Guests rave about the peaceful atmosphere, clean and cozy cabins, and friendly hosts. The hot tub is a favorite for post-hike or post-concert relaxation, and travelers love the natural beauty right outside their door. Many mention it's a great base for combining music, nature, and relaxation.

Areas for Improvement

Check-out is on the earlier side at 9:00 AM — a bit rough if you're recovering from a late-night show. Some guests also noted that a car is a must, as public transport options are limited in this mountainous area.

The Bottom Line

If you’re heading to Red Rocks but want a peaceful, scenic place to unwind after the encore, Alpen Way Chalet Mountain Lodge is a cozy, well-loved choice with just the right mix of comfort and Colorado charm.
