What's New in Sun Valley?

If you are curious about what's new in Sun Valley, look no further. Always growing and moving forward, Sun Valley has quite a few improvements this summer season; new and remodeled restaurants, ground beautification, and green efforts are just a few.

The Sun Valley Resort’s beautification project continued to move forward this spring. Throughout the Resort you will find hundreds of newly planted spruce trees, crab apples, and outbursts of magnificent colorful flowerbeds. It seems that everywhere you look around the quaint Sun Valley Village, the never-ending color of new flowers, and the green of the trees is there to greet you.

Konditorei Restaurant

In the heart of our alpine village is the all new Konditorei Restaurant offering authentic Austrian patisseries and confections. This inviting shop offers old world charm along with scrumptious delicacies from Austria and Germany. I can personally validate the magnificent experience of the morning assortment of muffins, croissants, and pastries. The new Short Line Deli, located next door, offers delicious sandwiches and sides for those on the go. If ice cream, shakes, and original cocoas are more to your liking, then stop by A La Mode and indulge!

A La Mode

The Olympic pool now offers a Kids’ Splash Park, the play school has been beautifully remodeled, and improvements have been made at both ice rinks. 
 

Sun Valley Company continues its efforts to "go green" and have successfully opened a 21,500 square foot, green designed laundry/dry cleaning facility servicing all of the resort’s laundry and dry cleaning services. You won’t want to miss out on all these new additions!
