Vail is vast and spreads for almost four miles along the southern flank of the I-70 Highway, with two distinct bases at the foot of the resort’s two gondolas at Vail Village and Lionshead. In between lies a plethora of luxury accommodation – whether you’re looking for smart hotels or luxury condos, Vail has so many options. Those looking to save some cash should look at staying further along the valley at Eagle Vail or in Avon below Beaver_Creek, then catch the bus back to the Vail ski area.
The resort is also home to some fantastic après spots and places for a drink in the evening – just try to make the most of the daily happy hours for the best value drinks. Vail is also home to perhaps the widest range of ski resort restaurants in the USA, with everything from classic American BBQ food to sushi, the resort has something for everyone.
Dates for the 2023/24 season are still to be confirmed; the season at Vail typically runs from Mid-November to Mid-April.
