The beautiful Heber Valley is an ideal destination in the spring. As the seasons are changing and temps are warming up, visitors enjoy sunny days outdoors with the remaining winter snow. Lather on the sunblock, grab those shades, and let us share some springtime activity recommendations that will make you want to book that March or April trip today. Check out the pre-built itineraries too!
Beach Time
We’re talking the ski beach! Spend the morning on the slopes and the afternoons enjoying après-ski on outdoor patios and groomed ski beach areas. Spring ski conditions can be warm and fun. The snow is best in the mornings and midday. As the temperatures climb throughout the day, the snow conditions soften in the afternoon. If you ski hard in the first part of the day, give those legs, ankles, and feet a break and turn to another fun activity that we also love dearly – après-ski time.
We bring health and wellness to the forefront for visitors looking to unwind, relax, and reconnect. With numerous spas and wellness services throughout town, Heber Valley offers some unique ways to treat yourself on your next stay.
The Utah Crater –Book your time slot to soak in the mineral-rich, warm waters at the Utah Crater. This 10,000-year-old geothermal hot spring sits roughly 55 feet below a limestone hilltop. The therapeutic water temperature stays about 95 degrees F all year long and invites guests to swim and rejuvenate their bodies. Those looking for something even more special can book a morning stand up paddle board yoga session atop the heated water. This hot spring is the only warm-water scuba certification destination in the lower 48 states. Guests who book an afternoon swim, soak, or snorkel experience may be joined by scuba enthusiasts diving to the 65-foot depth of the crater floor.
Yoga Adventures - Try something truly unique. Park City Yoga Adventures offers a variety of health and wellness experiences that you likely haven't experienced elsewhere. SUP yoga in a 10,000-year-old geothermal hot spring crater... or hike and meditate in suspended silks among the quaking Aspen trees... and how about a snowshoe trek through the forested mountain area to a warm and welcoming yurt for yoga by candlelight? Just some of the offerings this great guide and outfitter provides right here in Heber Valley.
Spa For Two– Bring a friend, family member, or significant other to make your spa time a little more memorable. Choose from popular treatments such as a couple’s massage or book a half-day or even a full-day spa experience. You only live once. So, why not splurge on yourself from time to time? Your body will thank you! The Zermatt Spa has some excellent spa packages that may pique your interest.
Salt Room Treatments – Experience the benefits of salt. At Mountain Elite Massage, guests can book a salt room therapy treatment. Known for helping ease respiratory issues, the dry salt therapy can be booked solo or as an add on to a signature spa treatment at this local business.
Infrared Treatments – Similar to the healing powers of salt therapy, infrared light treatments have been proven to reduce inflammation and pain, lower blood pressure, promote detoxification, improve moods, and strengthen the immune system. At the local Blue Sun Tanning & Spa, guests can combine an infrared sauna treatment with Red Light therapy, along with the guided meditation services offered, for an alternative wellness approach.
