The warm atmosphere of alpine, polished rock, wood, and flowing water at the Bachelor Gulch Spa at the Ritz Carlton are enough to make you say, "aaahh." This classic rocky mountain spa boasts goodies such as a lazy river hot tub, fitness rooms with mountain views, and treatments which reflect your natural surroundings,. These include alpine berries, Douglas fir and blue spruce sap signature treatments, offered in the Spa's 19 treatment rooms. The fitness center, and Pilates and yoga studio, are unmatched by the most fantastic ski opportunities in North America, which are, luckily for the guests, right outside the Spa doors of this unique, rugged-outdoor themed spa.

Almost all of the guestrooms and suites here have private balconies, fireplaces, and mountain views> The rooms are provided both with comforts such as plush terry robes and marble bathroom floors, as well as with little touches such as twig-like handles on drawers, and pine cone accents and lamps with local wildlife themes. There are plenty of options for massage here, perfect after a day spent outdoors. Try the hydrotherapy-based Roaring Rapids, or the Four-Hands, where two therapists work together to relieve your tension. The treatments here have delicious names like Apple Pie a la mode, Fun in the Mud Wrap, and Rosemary and Sage Salt Scrub, Vanilla Bourbon Milk bath, Mountain raindrop therapy massage, and warm stone and refresher facials. Even tastier, though, are the healthy smoothies and snacks served at the Nutrition and Wellness Juice Bar. Guests can order treats like a Banana-Flax Smoothie, the Evergreen, made with organic Kamut, wheatgrass and grapefruit juice, or Protein Power Shakes in flavors such as Chocolate Peanut Butter or Vanilla Blueberry. If you prefer a more traditional lodge-style meal, head to one of the restaurants or lounges here which provide a perfect setting for guests to sit back, relax, and reflect on the great day they've spent at Bachelor Gulch Spa.

The Mobil Four Star rated Bachelor Gulch Spa at The Ritz-Carlton is a relaxing place to rejuvenate after an active or leisurely day on Beaver Creek Mountain and was recently ranked the #3 spa in North America by the 2006 Conde Nast Traveler Reader's Poll.
