If you plan to visit Aspen or Snowmass during the 2027 Aspen/Pitkin County Airport closure, flying into Eagle County Regional Airport may come with a new shared-ground-transportation option. Aspen One and its partners announced a reservation-based shuttle between Eagle County Regional Airport (EGE) and the Brush Creek Intercept Lot, with a stated $69 one-way fare for that segment. Service is planned for the closure period, not operating now.
The Aspen/Pitkin County Airport’s official FAQ says the runway will close April 4, 2027, at 11 p.m. and is expected to reopen November 19, 2027, at 7 p.m. Those dates could still change as construction approaches.
How would the shuttle work?
According to the November 4 announcement from Aspen One, Wildpath Transportation plans two connected services:
| Service | Planned trip | What to know |
|---|---|---|
| EGE Line | Eagle County Regional Airport to the Brush Creek Intercept Lot, and back | Reserve an individual seat. The announced fare is $69 each way for this segment. |
| Valley Loop | Brush Creek to destinations in Aspen and Snowmass | On-demand last-mile connection. Confirm its fare and booking arrangement with Wildpath before relying on a door-to-door price. |
The EGE Line may stop in Glenwood Springs or Basalt when a booked rider needs that stop. The announcement describes six daily departures toward EGE and eight from EGE, matched to expected flight patterns. These are plans, not a timetable to book against today; the operator says its schedule will be updated before service starts.
Is the $69 fare the full price to Aspen or Snowmass?
The stated $69 is for travel between EGE and Brush Creek. The announcement describes the onward Valley Loop service but does not establish in its text that every final-destination transfer is included in that fare. Check the total cost, transfer, luggage allowance and accessibility arrangements when reservations open. The release says seats will be bookable on Wildpath’s website and app ahead of the April start.
What should travelers do now?
Do not buy a flight on the assumption that a particular shuttle departure or final price is guaranteed. Check the airport’s construction updates, airline schedules and Wildpath’s booking information closer to travel. If your actual destination is the Vail Valley rather than Aspen, use our Visitor Essentials guide for EGE-to-Vail options; this proposed shuttle serves a different corridor.
