 Lou and Lynne Wille in the early days of Aspen Mountain |
| Lou and Lynne Wille met in art school in Aspen. Lou was the teacher and Lynne was a student. Soon they were married and both taught art in the Tyrol Apartment Building in 1950. Next door was a vacant lot on Main Street. They bought the land, built the Tyrolean Lodge and started up business in 1970. Lou, being a sculptor, added the finishing touch to the lodge with a chrome car bumper eagle sculpture atop the chimney. They had four children who were all avid ski racers. The oldest son Raoul, operated the lodge from the mid 80's until his untimely death while climbing Mt. Burunse near Mt Everest in Nepal in 1998. Now I am the Proprietor. I am Pierre, the youngest son. On behalf of the Wille Family, I would like to welcome you to the Tyrolean Lodge. We have a long tradition of large, clean, comfortable rooms for a reasonable rate in a great location. The Tyrolean Lodge has a commitment to the natural environment and dedication to our local community. Please come and visit us at The Tyrolean Lodge. — Pierre Wille |
