Homestyle family dinners where you get to meet the other guests are wonderful, the buffets are huge, and the warm chocolate chip cookies that are put out at 4pm are to die for! Since there are no TVs in the rooms, everyone gathers in the common room (or bar) to play cards, chat, or read. It is a great way... More

The combination of Alta and the Alta Peruvian is as good as it gets for a ski vacation. There are different styles of ski vacations and if you care about the "village", " the scene" or need a 46 inch TV in your room, go someplace else. That is not an insult. As the bumper sticker says "Alta is for... More

This place is a time machine! If you are looking for a super friendly, social, and fun place come here. My 18 year old son and I really enjoyed having dinner and breakfast with the other guests, This place is an old school ski lodge, family meals and spartan rooms. The heated pool is big and hot tubs are great.... More

The staff is great and service at the restaurant was outstanding. The rooms are small and outdated but adequate.

I stayed here for an early season ski vacation. Lodge is very close to Collins lift and there are shuttle vans running back and forth all day long. Only 1 minute from the lodge to the lift. This is a great 1960's style lodge. The accomodations are basic, but the food is great. You can purchase lift tickets in the... More

How does one describe a place that is unlike any other?? If you love friendly, homey, laid back and a total blast (never mind the best skiing in the world) then come have a drink, stay, eat, ski & meet wonderful people at the fabulous Alta Peruvian Lodge. Nothing compares.

It is the case that the food is not the best and the accommodations are basic but I’m returning in 2012 nevertheless. I went in April 2011 just before they were about to close for the season. By then the chef must have been running out of energy and food. However, the dinner companions were all delightful every night I... More

I came here with my teenage son for President's Day weekend. I have neer skied Alta but am always looking for something new and have heard great things about the skiing here. I decided to stay at the Peruvian because I wouldn't have to cook and clean and the price seemed pretty reasonable compared to some other places up here.... More

Of course the skiing is awesome... it's Alta !! Skiing has nothing to do with the lodge - this is a pretty bare bones ski lodge, which is fine if the cost was commensurate with the experience & service. It appears the lack of competition enables the Peruvian to provide average food, poor & not very responsive customer service (Internet... More
