Welcome to Sun Valley

The City of Sun Valley sits at the edge of the Sawtooth and Challis National Forests; with the Big Wood River, a fisherman’s dream, running through the Wood River Valley.

Its pristine mountains and pastures, clean air and clean water make Sun Valley a highly desirable place to live, work, play and visit.  Development in Sun Valley respects and complements the natural setting and preserves its historic authenticity.  Sun Valley hosts a prominent and internationally-recognized, year-round resort, enjoys economic and environmental

sustainability, successful regional partnerships, social and cultural richness, and a unique character and quality of life.  Sun Valley enjoys a pleasant mountain desert climate.  With an average humidity of only 30%, and 15 inches of precipitation per year, the northern latitude creates long days, with 15 hours of sunshine in the summer, giving the resort community its well-deserved name.
