Things to do

No shortage of attractions in happening Vail

No matter where your Vail vacation rental is located, there's a great deal to do when you're not on the slopes. An attraction in its own right, Vail is known for its quaint alpine architecture, small-town vibe and, unusually, a pedestrian thoroughfare that boasts underfloor heating. Here, you'll find no shortage of things to do, from dining at world-class restaurants and browsing the fashionable boutiques, to unwinding at hip nighttime haunts and getting pampered at a spa. When you're recharged and are ready to don your skis again, the village's Gondola One will whisk you back up to the slopes in style.

With almost 200 runs and 3 terrain parks, Vail Mountain offers something for all and, with its lifts, gondolas and public transport links, getting around isn't a problem. When the snow melts away, the region's rolling green landscape is revealed, setting the scene for hiking, biking, camping, fishing, zip-lining and scenic games of golf.
