Vail Area

Vail and Beaver Creek have earned their international reputations as places to be seen and are located in a friendly valley filled with locals who are passionate for the place they call home. Both exude ski town alpine charm that spills into summer and fall when sporting events, live music and other cultural events fill the calendar. Check out the Betty Ford Alpine Gardens, Vail Nature Center, and Vail Resorts’ Epic Discovery for zip lines, an alpine coaster, adventure course, hiking trails and gondola rides. Grab a delicious bite to eat at the ultra-memorable Beano’s Cabin and Game Creek Restaurant, enjoy top-notch lodging options, and explore the nearby towns such as Minturn, Avon and Edwards. For adventurers, 10^th Mountain Division Huts are great backcountry stopovers.
