Vail
Vail, Colorado is a quaint resort town in the central Rocky Mountains, conveniently located two hours west of Denver just off Interstate 70. Vail, whose layout, architecture and character was inspired from Zermatt, Switzerland, is a must see for all visitors to Colorado. As they say about Vail, “there is no comparison.”
Vail's central location is the iconic Vail Village, where you'll find shops, restaurants, bars, and people hanging out and enjoying the resort, the weather, and each other. Lionshead Village, just west of the main Village, features shopping, casual dining and the classic Gondola, which runs winter and summer.
