Vail Village
Vail Village wraps you in European-inspired charm with cobblestone streets where no cars dare to tread. Hop on Gondola One to access world-class skiing in winter or hiking trails in summer when the mountains turn impossibly green. The Betty Ford Alpine Gardens offer a peaceful escape while the Colorado Snowsports Museum tells tales of powder days past. Dining options range from cozy alpine bistros to fine restaurants serving game and local ingredients. Most visitors stay in luxury ski-in/ski-out hotels or upscale condos that put you steps from both the slopes and village core. The pedestrian-only design makes exploring on foot a breeze, with free shuttle buses connecting to parking areas.
Lionshead
Lionshead's car-free village core sits right at the base of Vail Mountain, making it a dream spot for skiers and snowboarders. The Eagle Bahn Gondola whisks you straight to world-class slopes and Adventure Ridge's year-round mountain playground. After hitting the powder, stroll cobblestone walkways lined with luxury boutiques or warm up beside outdoor fire pits with spectacular mountain views. Upscale dining options showcase Colorado lamb and elk paired with craft cocktails, while ski-in/ski-out condos and boutique hotels offer cozy fireplaces and mountain vistas. Getting around is hassle-free with complimentary shuttles to Vail Village every 15 minutes and heated walkways throughout the pedestrian-friendly resort area.
