Skis and bears

Amangani in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, offers its guests unique nature experiences and field trips. In winter, the region is a paradise for ski riders. For example, take a helicopter ride in the deep snow to the hidden slopes of the Jackson Hole Mountain Resort with over 1,000 acres of ski and snowboarding terrain. Skiing pros try the Corbet’s Couloir – one of the steepest ski runs in the world, starting with a free fall of up to nine meters. Those who are more interested in wild nature should visit the nearby Yellowstone National Park, America’s largest national park outside of Alaska. In spring and summer, varied wildlife can be spotted, including grizzly and black bear, bison, elk, pronghorn and coyote. Wild safaris, led by experienced biologists, lead to the best observatories. More than 300 species of birds, from bald eagles and mountain bluebirds to cranes, are at home in Jackson Hole. Further activities around the Amangani: rafting, fishing, horseback riding, mountain biking, golf and dog sledding.
