Vail is often the first town that comes to people’s mind when thinking of skiing in Colorado, although Vail was established less than 50 years ago. It is arguably one of the best alpine resorts in the world with a friendly, small-town feel. Located in the heart of the Vail Valley, in the Colorado Rockies, it’s a town created by and for skiing but has grown to a year-round destination that’s a favorite with families and lovers of the outdoors. Not only do visitors enjoy the bountiful recreational and cultural opportunities that are available, residents also take pride in a quality of life that provides alpine living at its best. From hiking in the summer to skiing in the winter, there’s always something to do in Vail. Visitors and residents alike enjoy the 1,100 acres of open space accounting for 50% of Vail’s town-owned land; 350,000 surrounding acres of national forest, crowned by 5,289 skiable acres on one of the largest and best ski mountains in the world; 17 miles of recreation paths; countless special events, the highest botanical gardens in the world and an outdoor amphitheater named for Vail’s most famous resident, President Gerald R. Ford.

While staying in Vail, our guests enjoy world-class winter activities including skiing, snowboarding, snowmobiling, snowshoeing, snow tubing and sleigh rides. Vail Mountain Resort is the one-stop shop for over 5,200 acres of developed ski and snowboard terrain. Whether you love the feeling of gliding down a freshly laid carpet of groomed snow or revel in knee-deep powder, Vail has terrain to suit your style. Known for that light and fluffy Colorado powder, Vail also boasts the most groomed terrain on the planet. From the Front Side to the Back Bowls, there is intermediate-friendly terrain off of every lift, while experts can challenge themselves on iconic Vail runs and glades. Golden Peak and Bwana Terrain Parks offer small, medium, and large features for those looking for an added challenge. Vail has unique Kid’s Adventure Zones all over the mountain, featuring banked turns, tunnels, and small glades. These fun and safe areas are perfect to build confidence and challenge your child’s skiing and riding abilities. Learning how to ski or ride? Whether you are looking for a guide to show you the best spots on the mountain on any given day, or to take your skills to the next level, Vail instructors are the kind of people you’ll want to ski with by day and join for après when the lesson’s over. Also, don’t worry! There are two beginner areas on mountain! Vail Mountain’s Nordic School offers snowshoe, cross-country, and backcountry ski tours for all levels in addition to Telemark skiing. Vail is typically open for the winter season from mid-November through early April.
If you’re an adult and in the need for speed, snowmobile half-day or full-day tours can be booked with companies such as Sage Outdoor Adventures, Vail Snowmobiling, Nova Guides, and Vail Backcountry Tours. If you’d rather explore the Colorado backcountry on your own, snowmobiles can also be rented independently from Vail Snowmobiling.
What better way to create memories than a sleigh ride in the Colorado Rocky Mountains? Whether you wish to evoke the nostalgia of your childhood or cozy up with your loved one for a romantic evening, a sleigh ride under the starry night sky is something you will never forget. Horse drawn sleigh ride and dinners can be booked through a select few establishments in Vail including Bearcat Stables, 4 Eagle Ranch, and Beano’s Cabin. These same locations also offer fun in the summer with activities ranging from horseback rides, hunting camps, wine tasting, country dancing, rodeos, fat tire bikes and tractor pulled wagon rides.
Nestled up to the base of the ski mountain, the village experience is at once timeless and vibrant. The highly regarded fine dining scene is matched by stellar shopping experiences. Looking for a fun place to unwind après ski? You’ll have a hard time choosing which deck and drink special. Family and group friendly options abound with ice skating rinks, a high-end movie theater, ritzy bowling, sweets shops and event concert venues all within a few minutes’ walk.
Foodies flock to Vail’s diverse and exciting culinary scene. Vail might be a small town in the Rocky Mountains, but you’ll find dining options to rival the world’s most vibrant cities. Once back in the Village, your options are seemingly endless, from Nobu Matsuhisa’s Japanese dishes with South American flare at Matsuhisa, the always creative and exciting Sweet Basil, to restaurants that celebrate more traditional classics like Lancelot.
A vibrant pedestrian village, incredible and accessible terrain, lodging and dining to suit every budget, a mix of locals and guests from around the world…Vail is the quintessential Ski Resort experience. Come and see for yourself!
