Voted the number one ski resort in North America numerous times by leading ski publication readers, the Vail experience begins outside the ski area. A charming, Bavarian-styled pedestrian village nestled into the mountainside provides a spectacular backdrop for the many shops, galleries and restaurants, as well as the après ski bars and nightclubs that make Vail’s nightlife as hot as its daytime activities. The 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, fast and efficient lift service, and multitude of skiing and riding options. Open air concerts at the Ford Amphitheater, Street Beat on Bridge Street, jaw-dropping hiking and biking trails, incredible fishing, white water rafting, and the celebrated Sunday Farmer’s Markets help create a summertime oasis. This town is truly a year-round mountain haven.
Though a year-round destination, Vail was predominately created by and for skiing. As popular as skiing is in the winter, activities such as hiking, cycling and golfing fill the void in the summer.
