The city of “Sun Valley” generally refers to several pockets of town. Ketchum, ID is the actual town where most of the restaurants, shops, sport outfitters, and galleries are located. It is small and very easy to navigate on foot. Less than a mile away (a very easy walk) is the actual Sun Valley Resort. This is where you’ll find the world famous Sun Valley Lodge, the Sun Valley Inn, as well as numerous condominiums and private homes. There are also several restaurants and shops in the Sun Valley Village.
Approximately 1 mile from the Sun Valley Resort is the beginning of Elkhorn. The Elkhorn area is very spread out with many housing options consisting of condominiums, townhomes, and private residences, many with spectacular views! On the other side of Ketchum, at the base of Bald Mountain, is the Warm Springs area which is also home to many condominiums and private residences.
We recommend renting a car if you plan to stay a few days in town as Uber/Lyft is not readily available. If you have a rental car there is plenty of parking, and walking between the Sun Valley Resort and Ketchum is also doable. For those that prefer to use local transportation, there is a great free bus service that runs between Ketchum, Sun Valley Resort, Elkhorn, Warm Springs, and River Run (base of Bald Mountain).
