Vail Village

Vail Village wraps you in European-inspired charm with cobblestone streets where no cars dare to tread. Hop on Gondola One to access world-class skiing in winter or hiking trails in summer when the mountains turn impossibly green. The Betty Ford Alpine Gardens offer a peaceful escape while the Colorado Snowsports Museum tells tales of powder days past. Dining options range from cozy alpine bistros to fine restaurants serving game and local ingredients. Most visitors stay in luxury ski-in/ski-out hotels or upscale condos that put you steps from both the slopes and village core. The pedestrian-only design makes exploring on foot a breeze, with free shuttle buses connecting to parking areas.
