Sitting just 35 minutes' drive east of Salt Like City, in a sleek valley defined by the Wasatch range peaks rising around it, Park City is an often unsung destination in Utah that’s finally getting its well earned spotlight.

If you manage to get sick of exploring Deer Valley Resort and Park City Mountain – which offer the largest area for skiing in the United States at 3,850 hectares between the two – then there’s still loads to keep the adrenaline pumping.

Founded by Robert Redford, it’s one of the most iconic and anticipated events of the global film industry calendar – and it all happens in a little place called Park City…
