Golden Season in the Mountains: Visiting Stein Collection in the Fall

Whether you’re drawn to scenic hikes, cozy spa days, or simply the art of doing nothing at all, fall is the perfect time to experience the elegance and ease that define Stein Collection.

A Softer Side of Deer Valley

When summer’s energy fades and winter’s buzz hasn’t yet arrived, Deer Valley takes on a serene beauty. The hillsides glow with gold and amber, the trails are wide open, and the air feels fresh and new. Guests can step right outside Stein Eriksen Lodge or The Chateaux Deer Valley and wander into a kaleidoscope of color—whether it’s a leisurely stroll around Silver Lake Village or a more challenging hike up Flagstaff Mountain. With fewer crowds and cooler temperatures, fall invites a slower pace and a deeper connection to the landscape.

Culinary Moments to Savor

The flavors of fall come alive across Stein Collection restaurants. At Glitretind Restaurant, Chef Zane Holmquist crafts seasonal menus that highlight local ingredients—think roasted root vegetables, mountain trout, and hearty game dishes paired with perfectly selected wines. Fireside Dining at Empire Canyon Lodge reopens for the season with European-inspired courses served beside roaring stone fireplaces. Evenings linger a little longer here, especially when capped with warm chocolate fondue or a nightcap by the fire.

Time for Renewal

Fall is also one of the most restorative times to visit The Spa at Stein Eriksen Lodge, recently named among the best in the world. The crisp mountain air heightens the experience—muscle-melting massages, soothing body wraps, and Nordic-inspired treatments that reflect Stein’s Norwegian heritage. Guests can unwind in the outdoor heated pools, watch the aspens sway, and feel the stress of everyday life fade away.

Perfect for a Romantic Escape—or a Quiet Retreat

The fall season’s gentle rhythm makes it ideal for couples or solo travelers seeking peace and reflection. Many guests choose to book a suite with a private deck or hot tub, where they can enjoy a glass of wine beneath the changing leaves. Others take advantage of special fall offers to extend their stay and explore the surrounding towns of Park City, Heber, and Midway, each offering its own harvest festivals and scenic drives.

The Calm Before the Snow

Visiting Stein Collection in the fall is like catching Deer Valley in a moment of exhale—just before winter excitement returns. It’s a time to breathe deeply, take in the colors, and rediscover the luxury of stillness. Whether you’re planning a romantic getaway, a wellness retreat, or simply a quiet escape to the mountains, fall at Stein Collection promises the perfect blend of comfort, beauty, and timeless alpine hospitality.
