Limelight Adventures in Ketchum
Our slice of Idaho has always had an adventurous spirit. With that in mind, we're happy to offer the following customized Limelight Adventures to our guests. From experiencing the best conditions on Bald Mountain to traipsing through the snow with our friends at the Sun Valley Environmental Resource Center, we've pulled together some of our favorite ways to enjoy the area, exclusive to you.
First Tracks on Baldy
First up on Baldy! Guided inside scoop of Baldy with pros from SV Snow Sport School. Guest are able to take a run or possibly two before the mountain opens to the public courtesy of the Limelight Hotel. It is technically a half-day group guide so the guests can continue to ski with the SV guide or go on their own after first ups.- Guests must be advanced / intermediate / expert and can either ski or snowboard.

Audi Snowshoeing Experience
Together with Audi, we are offering our guests the opportunity to take an Audi Q7 or the fully electric Audi e-tron SUV for a test drive to the end of the road. Once there, embark on an off-road tranquil and self-guided snowshoe hike through the Rocky Mountains. During this mountain adventure, you’ll experience the power and precision of Audi and go beyond the limits in style. We’ll provide you with an Audi SUV for up four hours, snowshoes for up to seven guests and guidance on local trails from the Limelight concierge.
To schedule the Audi Snowshoe Experience during your trip, please visit the front desk, email us at ketchumfrontdesk@limelighthotels.com or call (208) 726-0888 for further details. All guests who participate in the Audi Snowshoe Experience must sign a liability waiver.
Stargazing
Because of its relative isolation in Central Idaho, Ketchum is the perfect place to see the stars ... like all of them! Limited light pollution and clear Western skies mean you can see the Milky Way, shooting stars and satellites nearly every night of the week. We want to make viewing the stars as easy as possible. Use our complimentary binoculars and download a Star Map to explore the Ketchum skies.
Outdoor Yoga on the Plaza
Start the day with an invigorating morning yoga/fitness class taught outdoors on the Limelight Plaza with morning views of Bald Mountain. Classes will feature Zenergy instructors and are available at no charge to Limelight guests. Yoga mats will be provided. Classes are held on Friday mornings at 9:00am from mid June to early September. Guests should arrive a few minutes early if borrowing a yoga mat (locals and non-guests must bring their own mat).
Cruise & Walk to the Sawtooth Botanical Gardens
Rent a cruiser bike and discover one of the hidden gems of Ketchum, the Sawtooth Botanical Gardens. This meticulously tended garden is a celebration of cultivated plants as well as those native to Rocky Mountains, all of them with one trait in common: they thrive at high altitude. Available any day of the week until Labor Day Weekend. The ride is 7 miles roundtrip from the Limelight, and cruiser bikes are available for hotel guests through our on-site rental/retailer Sturtevant’s.
