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.
More than 11,000-feet tall and dominating the landscape, Vail Mountain is where the action is. One of the largest ski resorts in the world, it boasts 5,289 acres of skiable terrain during the winter months. 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.
Vail is an ideal base camp to explore the attractions of Breckenridge. Vacation homes can be found near places like the Breckenridge Nordic Center, an outdoor sports center with snowshoeing and cross-country skiing, and South Main Street, a vibrant shopping area with a unique mix of specialty shops. You could also visit the Stephen C West Ice Arena, an arena with public skating rinks and ice sports, and Carter Park and Pavilion, a sports court with ball fields, sledding hills, and a dog play area.
Coming for the ski season? You'll want to book your Vail vacation rental between December and March, when the resort's slopes are blanketed in thick snow. During this time, average temperatures range between the mid-20s and low 30s, making it much cooler than the summer season. If you prefer things to be a little warmer, June through September is the best time to visit. Accommodation rates tend to be more affordable, while the average highs hover in the 70s.
Vail sits within the White River National Forest, a vast wilderness spanning more than 2 million acres, studded with breathtaking mountains and draped in thick woodland. Its northern section is spliced through by the grand White River, which gives the forest its name. For nature lovers, to call it a paradise is an understatement. The sprawling, unspoiled landscape is home to all manner of fascinating creatures, including deer, elk, mountain lions, bobcats, lynx and bears.
The nearest airport is in Vail, CO (EGE-Eagle County Regional), located 28.3 mi (45.6 km) from the city center.
Vail is a beautiful mountain retreat for couples. In addition to skiing, dining, and spas, vacation homes are close to romantic places like Betty Ford Alpine Gardens, a tranquil botanical garden with a wide variety of flowers and plants, and Bighorn Park, a sprawling park with wide open spaces and a lake in a charming setting. You'll also like the Vail International Gallery, an upscale art gallery with modern paintings and sculptures from emerging artists.
