Why Fly Private to Park City
For lovers of the outdoors, Park City is the place to be. In the snowy winter months, the town becomes a true ski destination, with plenty of resort options and wide-open terrain. When warmer weather rolls around, visitors can trade skis for hiking and biking trails, fishing, and golf—more than enough adventure to fill a long weekend or a full week.
And when it's time to swap mountain time for town time, Park City truly delivers there too with elite boutiques, must-see art galleries, and delicious, world-class dining that turns any night out into a memorable experience.
Book your private jet to Park City todayWhat to Do in Park City
Park City is two ski resorts, a preserved silver-mining Main Street and hundreds of miles of public trail, which is why it is one of the few mountain towns that works as well in July as in January. Park City Mountain is the larger of the two and links Canyons Village to Old Town by gondola. Deer Valley is skiers-only, caps the number of people on the hill, and is the reason most guests come back. In summer the same lifts run for mountain biking and Main Street keeps its restaurants open, which most Rockies towns do not.
Where to Stay in Park City
Park City splits between Old Town and the two mountain bases, and the choice comes down to whether you want Main Street outside the door. Stein Eriksen Lodge sits mid-mountain at Deer Valley and is the classic, run year-round. Montage Deer Valley is the larger, more resort-shaped option a few minutes away, with the spa and the family programming. Pendry Park City is the newest of the three, at Canyons Village on the other side of the resort.
Old Town is the trade-off. Staying on Main Street puts you in the restaurants and out of the ski-in, ski-out equation, and the drive between Old Town and Canyons Village takes longer in January than the map suggests. The Christmas fortnight and the Presidents’ Day weekend are the two windows that book out the previous spring, and Deer Valley in particular caps the number of skiers on the hill, so lift access is worth confirming when you book the room.
Where to Eat in Park City
Riverhorse on Main is the long-standing special-occasion room and the one to book first. Handle, two blocks off Main on Heber Avenue, is the small-plates counterpoint and the harder table of the two. High West Distillery and Saloon is the all-day answer, open from late morning, and the only one of the three you can reasonably walk into.
Park City runs year-round, which is unusual for a ski town and is what makes the summer trip work. The constraint is size rather than season: the best rooms are small, Handle seats a fraction of what Riverhorse does, and Main Street parking is its own event. Book both the day your dates firm up rather than the week you fly.
Airports Near Park City, Utah
Heber Valley (HCR) is the closest field, about twenty minutes from Park City, with OK3 AIR as the single FBO on the airport, de-icing on site and a Part 145 shop. The runway is 6,898 feet at 5,637 feet of elevation and the only instrument approach is circling-only, so in a low winter ceiling Heber is the field that goes away first. Salt Lake City International (SLC) is the all-weather answer, roughly forty-five minutes over Parley’s Canyon, with Atlantic Aviation and Signature on the east side and customs on the field for international arrivals. Provo (PVU) is about an hour out through Provo Canyon, with Signature and Duncan, and earns its place as the third option when Heber and Salt Lake both fill over the holidays. We plan the Heber trip and hold Salt Lake as the alternate rather than the other way round: the difference between the two on the ground is twenty-five minutes, and the difference in the air on a bad day is the whole trip.
Park City Charter Questions, Answered
Which airport do private jets use for Park City?
Salt Lake City International (SLC) is the main gateway, about thirty-five minutes from Park City by road. Heber Valley (HCR), also known as Russ McDonald Field, sits closer at roughly twenty minutes and is the general aviation alternative.
How long is the drive from Salt Lake City to Park City?

When is the busiest time to fly private into Park City?
Christmas through New Year, Presidents’ week, and the powder weekends through January and February. The Sundance Film Festival left after its final Park City edition in January 2026, so late January is no longer the spike it once was. Those are the weeks when Salt Lake parking and Park City lodging tighten at the same time.
How far in advance should I book a private jet to Park City?
Three to four weeks in the shoulder seasons. Two to three months for the holidays and Presidents’ week, and book the lodging on the same call.
Can Peak arrange ground transport from Salt Lake City to Park City?
Yes. Cars meet the aircraft at the general aviation terminal and run straight up the canyon. Winter storms are the variable, so we build time into the transfer rather than promise a number we cannot hold.
