To help you decide why to reserve one of the well-appointed vacation rentals in Vail from Berkshire Hathaway, we’ve put together this guide with three reasons you should visit.
What to Know About Vail
Before diving into why you should visit, it’s important to know where Vail is. The mountain town is nestled in the heart of Colorado’s Rocky Mountains. Found about 100 miles west of Denver along Interstate 70, it is surrounded by the Gore Range, known for its dramatic alpine scenery. With easy access to the Denver International Airport and Eagle County Regional Airport, reaching the charming town is a breeze.
Now that you have a better idea of where Vail is, keep reading to learn about three reasons you should visit.
1. World-Class Outdoor Recreation
Vail is a four-season destination. In the winter, skiers flock here to check out Vail Mountain, known for its legendary back bowls and expansive terrain. Improve your skills on your ski vacation by booking a lesson with a knowledgeable instructor. When the snow melts, vacationers can enjoy hiking trails like Berry Picker Trail, fly fishing, rafting, and more. In the fall, go for a scenic drive to enjoy crisp air and colorful foliage. No matter the season, Vail is the ideal destination for outdoor adventures.
2. A Charming Alpine Village
Vail is home to pedestrian-friendly villages: Lionshead Village and Vail Village. Both were designed with European alpine inspiration in mind. Go for walks on cobblestone walkways and flower-lined bridges. Dine on mountain-view patios at Alpenrose Vail or Vail Chophouse, where you can enjoy stunning scenery and delicious dishes. Enjoy browsing shops, sipping on apres-ski drinks, or dining at one of the exceptional restaurants found here.
3. Wellness, Events, & More
While Vail might be known for its outdoor activities, it’s also the ultimate place to unwind. Amenities like luxury spas and yoga studios provide balance after a day outdoors.
