VAIL

Things to Do in Vail, Colorado

WINTER

• Spend the day or week skiing and riding Vail Mountain, with 5,000 skiable acres between the front side, 7 backbowls and Blue Sky Basin. That’s 195 Trails and 32 lifts promising a world-class experience for first-time skiers and riders and seasoned pros.

• Enjoy eating on mountain, discovering the mountain top smoked BBQ and chicken and wild rice soup at Wildwood, a stylish sit-down meal at the 10th, or a casual bite at Eagle’s Nest, Mid Vail, Buffalos or Two Elk on mountain.

• Ready for a night out? Enjoy Vail’s newest entertainment venue, Chasing Rabbits, complete with a restaurant, theatre, library lounge, arcade and speakeasy!

• Grab a seat on the patio at Los Amigos for margaritas and entertainment watching skiers end their day sliding down Pepi’s Face—yard sale!

• Wander through the Colorado Snowsports Museum & Hall of Fame located at the Vail Transportation Center to see ski styles through the ages.

• Dine on fondue or raclette or the most delicious French Onion Soup at the Swiss Chalet at the Sonenalp.

• Have a Mud Slide at the Bully Ranch.

• Enjoy a day at the spa at a number of Vail’s cushy spas, like the sunny Sonnenalp spa (where they also have an oxygen bar) in Vail Village or Arabelle Spa in Lionshead.

• Sample the best hot chocolate or shall we say “Haute Chocolate” of your life at The Remedy Bar at the Four Seasons. Valrhona chocolate and steamed milk is churned table side, served in a French hot chocolate pot, and poured over a cup, complete with a dark chocolate lattice and homemade marshmallow and a snowcap of whipped cream.

• And more!
