Located 100 miles west of Denver and nestled between the Gore and Sawatch Mountain Ranges, Vail is one of the world's premier alpine destinations. Founded by members of the U.S. Army’s 10th Mountain Division and surrounded by 350,000 acres of White River National Forest, Vail offers an unmatched blend of outdoor recreation, mountain beauty, and small-town charm.
At the heart of town, pedestrian-friendly Vail Village and Lionshead Village provide direct access to Vail Mountain’s 5,300+ acres of skiable terrain via Gondola One and the Eagle Bahn Gondola. Both villages feature world-class dining, boutique shopping, vibrant arts and cultural events, and a lively après-ski scene. Vail Village is known for its iconic covered bridge, heated cobblestone streets, and European-inspired atmosphere, while Lionshead offers an Austrian-inspired setting anchored by The Arrabelle at Vail Square.
For those seeking a quieter mountain lifestyle, East Vail and West Vail offer convenient access to both Vail Mountain and Beaver Creek. East Vail is surrounded by the White River National Forest and Gore Range, providing exceptional hiking, biking, Nordic skiing, and outdoor recreation. West Vail features sunny neighborhoods, parks, trails, local shops and restaurants, and the Donovan Pavilion, all while remaining just minutes from the ski slopes and town center. A complimentary town-wide bus system connects all of Vail's neighborhoods, making it easy to enjoy everything this renowned mountain community has to offer.
