Luxury Alta Utah Home with Hot Tub, Pool Table, Game Room and Chef's Kitchen
Ski home to this beautiful 6 bedroom, 6 bathroom skier's paradise located at the base of the Alta Ski Area ski slopes. The Fort House is located on the Alta Bypass Road, a short walk to Alta's base lifts, an easy shuttle ride to Snowbird, and you can ski the Alta slopes back to the luxury that awaits at The Fort House.
The Fort House adds a contemporary spin to mountain living and is simply spectacular, inside and out! This ski-in Alta vacation home boasts 5,451 sq feet of well-appointed interiors over three levels with multiple indoor and outdoor areas for guests to gather, including a den with an office space to mix work with play on your ski vacation.
As you enter the home, on the ground level, there's a convenient mud room and boot dryers to store all your winter coats, boots and ski gear in one place. To the right, you'll find a large den designed for your indoor entertainment with a flat screen tv, wet bar, pool table, and fireplace. A sweeping staircase takes you up to the main level where you're welcomed by walls of glass, loads of natural light, and plenty of space to switch to vacation time and create memories. The spacious living area features comfy leather seating around a stone clad fireplace and a large dining table to seat 10 guests.
Cooking for a crowd is not a chore at The Fort House! The newly renovated open concept chef's kitchen boasts two ovens, two dishwashers, granite countertops, and a large granite island beneath a skylight with additional seating for 4.

How do I get from The Fort House to Alta and Snowbird? The Fort House is located very close to where the Bypass Road rejoins the State Highway 210 (the main road), below the Alta Peruvian Lodge. To get to Alta from this home, you have a couple of easy options. You can walk to the Alta Peruvian Lodge and from there ski across the cat track over to the lifts. You can also jump on the free Alta Resort Shuttle which makes a continuous loop of the Bypass Road during daytime hours. The shuttle runs continuously during the day. It will typically take just a few minutes to get up to the Collins or Sunnyside base areas at Alta. After skiing, you can utilize this same shuttle to bring you back to the property or you can ski home from Alta as well by accessing the Wildcat Access area and crossing the snowbridge back to the Peruvian Acres neighborhoods.
To get to Snowbird to go skiing, you would just take that Alta Resort Shuttle to The View Condominiums stop to ski down the intermediate “Whodunnit” run to Snowbird. At the end of the day, you can return to that same location to hop back on the Resort Shuttle to go back to The Fort House.
Important note: Alta Resort Shuttle runs mid-December to early April.
The vacation home is heated and features a kitchen, 6 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 6 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a private hot tub, a washing machine, and a fireplace.
