Introducing Ketchum & Sun Valley
Thanks to the highly rated Sun Valley ski resort, Ketchum and Sun Valley are Idaho’s premier destinations and the most happening cluster of towns in Idaho. A longtime favorite with highfliers, Sun Valley frequently takes top honors as the best ski resort in the USA. Trophy homes of the truly rich and famous dot the hilltops and it’s not uncommon to see a shining Hollywood face cruising down a slope. But despite the swank appeal, this is no LA. These year-round destinations, nestled among resplendent natural beauty, are also places to get away from it all.

Ketchum is the main commercial hub, with many restaurants, hotels and boutiques. Nobel-prize winning author (and avid sportsman) Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961) was a frequent visitor to the area, and spent his last years in Ketchum, where he’s buried. Twelve miles south on Hwy 75, Hailey (lived in and half-owned by Bruce Willis) is where most seasonal workers and ski-bums live.
