Voted the number one ski resort in North America numerous times by leading ski publication readers, the Vail experience begins outside the ski area. The charming pedestrian village inspired by the Bavarian Alps is nestled into the striking mountainside. The village boasts quaint shops, galleries and restaurants, as well as the après ski bars and nightclubs that make Vail’s nightlife as hot as its daytime activities. And the legendary ski resort, the largest in the U.S. with 5,289 acres of skiable terrain, is famous for its wide open back bowls, champagne powder, epic skiing and riding trails, and exhilarating chutes.

Open air concerts at the Ford Amphitheater, Street Beat on Bridge Street, jaw-dropping hiking and biking trails, incredible fishing, endless on-mountain activities and Sunday Farmer’s Markets create a summertime mountain oasis. This town is truly a year-round mountain haven.
