Vail is a proper mountain town that just happens to have one of the largest ski areas in the United States attached to it. Set in the heart of Colorado's Rocky Mountains, the resort combines a Bavarian-inspired village with nearly 2,150 hectares of skiable terrain spread across seven legendary Back Bowls. Its atmosphere strikes a balance between authentic mountain culture and a polished resort experience. You'll encounter cowboy boots alongside designer boutiques, craft breweries next to fine dining, and a community of locals who truly love where they live.

Skiing at Vail is all about variety and scale. Front-facing slopes serve up perfectly groomed cruisers and well-designed progression terrain, while the Back Bowls deliver something different altogether, with vast, open alpine terrain where you can carve lines through powder or pick down challenging chutes. Thirty-three lifts including high-speed quads and gondolas move skiers efficiently across the mountain, which rises from 2,475m to 3,527m, with a solid 1,050m of vertical drop. The season typically runs from mid-November through to late April.

Beyond the pistes, Vail Village and neighbouring Lionshead offer distinctly different characters. Vail Village centres around a pedestrianised core of restaurants, galleries, and boutiques with heated walkways, Lionshead feels more contemporary, with its own collection of shops and easy gondola access. The dining scene is impressive, across both, from slope-side lunches to award-winning restaurants in town. And with everything from relaxed mountain lodges playing live music, to more sophisticated nights out, Vail après scene covers all bases.
