Park City, Utah is a picture-perfect vacation destination for travelers to enjoy year-round, but when couples are looking for a romantic place to get away from it all, there’s no better time to head this way than over Valentine’s Day. This time of year, Park City’s terrain is still dusted with snow, so if you’re a couple that connects best over outdoor adventures, there are always plenty to choose from. Of course, the local culinary scene is always designed to impress and there’s no reason not to add a night out with a show on your list either. No matter how you enjoy spending your time together, you’ll find there are plenty of routes to spoiling your loved one when you spend Valentine’s Day in Park City. Here are a few inspirational ideas to get your one-of-a-kind trip underway.
Dine in Romantic Style
Many eateries in Park City are designed to showcase spectacular views and provide patrons with delicious dishes to enjoy as well. That said when you’re in town over Valentine’s Day and looking to treat yourself to a truly special and romantic dinner, make sure you make reservations at Firewood. Located at 306 Main Street, Firewood provides guests with an elegant place to settle into rustic-chic surroundings and pair the impeccable location with a menu featuring mouthwatering steak and seafood options that can be matched to just the right wine or cocktail with ease. Many visitors love the fact that a majority of ingredients on the menu here are locally sourced, and whether you go with the black cod, smoked duck, bavette, or elk loin, your tastebuds are in for an amazing experience from start to finish. Firewood is designed to be a restaurant that offers up a true feast for the senses, making it a must-visit this Valentine’s Day in Park City!
Enjoy Time Skiing Together
When there’s nothing you and the one you love most enjoy doing more than spending time together on the slopes, a trip to Park City this Valentine’s Day is a chance to focus exclusively on downhill fun. Both Park City Mountain Resort and Deer Valley are open over Valentine’s Day. With far fewer crowds this time of year than over the holidays, you’ll have more room to enjoy each other’s company as you tackle trails of varying difficulties and enjoy the views from the lifts and gondolas. If you’re new to skiing and excited to try together, Valentine’s Day is a terrific time to sign up for a couple’s lesson alongside a professional on-site. Skiing is a convenient way to spend your Valentine’s Day in Park City thanks to on-site gear rental options too. After you’ve had your fill of fun, you can enjoy an après-ski stop like the restaurant at Goldener Hirsch Inn. Here, fondue is served up in abundance to help you thaw out in romantic style in a space designed to inspire feelings of Alpine luxury, right in the heart of Park City’s Deer Valley.
Take on a New Art Form Side by Side
If you’re feeling creatively inspired this Valentine’s Day, your trip to Park City in February is the perfect time to sign up for a couple’s glass-blowing session over at Red Flower Studios in town. You’ll find Red Flower Studios at 1755 Bonanza Drive B and they’re open Wednesday through Friday from 2:00 pm until 8:00 pm as well as Saturdays from 2:00 pm until 7:00 pm. This inviting studio is a great place to enjoy hands-on glass-blowing instruction alongside a professional. As you and your loved one create something that’s one-of-a-kind, you’ll also be constructing a personalized souvenir of your romantic getaway to Park City! While you’re at it, have some professional photos taken.
Book a Spa Session on Valentine’s Day in Park City
Exploring Park City together can be endlessly romantic and special, but sometimes, nothing says “I love you,” quite like a well-deserved session of pampering at a local spa. Consider signing up for a couple’s massage or a full afternoon relaxation package at the spa at Montage Deer Valley while you’re here. They offer a 180-minute massage experience in the couple’s sweet that’s aptly named, “Escape to Serenity.” You can always add-on to the massage with facials, wraps, aromatherapy, hot stones, or exfoliating treatments too.
