However, if you can't make it to London you can still enjoy the Olympics. At a Deer Valley hotel you can participate in sports that are similar to those in the Olympic games.

Deer Valley Hotels and Aquatics

Swimming is a well known Olympic sport, and after you have indulged yourself in the comforts of your Deer Valley Hotel room, you might feel inspired to take a dip yourself. At many Deer Valley Hotels you can find a year-round pool available for guests. Practice your backstroke, butterfly and breaststroke as you enjoy the beautiful mountain scape scenery. You might not be ready for the Olympics after your dip, but at least you will get a small taste of the Olympians do.

Equestrian

In the Olympics, the Equestrian events are the only ones that use animals. The fact that these events require horses makes it difficult for the average person to experience this sport on their own. At Deer Valley, you can finally experience what it is like to get on a horse. Walk right out the back door of the Stein Eriksen Lodge, a Deer Valley hotel, and saddle up for a guided horseback ride through the beautiful Wasatch mountains of Utah.

Golf

As you watch the Olympians compete in golf from the comfort of your hotel room, you might get the urge to take a swing at the sport yourself. Some of the local hotels are associated with nearby golf clubs. Talk to your concierge and they can help you set up a tee time, and transportation to the course.

Triathlon

While you are on vacation, you may not want to undergo an Olympian style triathlon. However, if watching the sport inspires you you can participate in running, biking, or swimming near, or at, the hotel. Park City has beautiful trails that runners from all over enjoy. Many Deer Valley hotels have fitness centers if you would rather run inside on the treadmill. In addition, there are many biking trails near the hotels. Visit your concierge for advice on the best trails.

As far as swimming is concerned, it was mentioned above that may Park City hotels offer a year round pool for their guests.
