There’s a lot to say about what’s so special about a Vail ski resort. They take care of many things for you, making it easy for you to relax and enjoy your vacation. The Vail staff try to do everything in their power to make sure you have a great time, from the elevator operators to the retail staff, the bell staff at the hotels, and the waiters at the many world-class restaurants. They use the slogan “like nowhere in the world” and this service, as well as the incredible dining, shopping and lodging options, really makes sure that Vail lives up to its reputation.
Vail has an abundance of high-quality lodging in its 2 main towns – Vail Village and Lionshead Village, plus Golden Peak and the outer areas of Vail. Luxury hotel residences like The Arrabelle Hotel, for example, provide impeccable service and all the high-end amenities you could wish for, like a rooftop pool and I-pads connecting you to the concierge and room service. . Of course it’s for skiing in and out, giving you the ultimate in convenience to get to and from the slopes, plus the ski valet will help you with your boots if you need them!
The options for foodies in Vail are immense! The Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory is perfect for families who like sweet apples or truffle treats, or try the delicious $ 18 hot chocolate at The Sebastian Hotel with gold dust.
Fine dining restaurants abound in Vail – sample the delights of the famous Sweet Basil or La Tour in Vail Village, just be sure to make a reservation. Innovative bars like Frost mean that guests can have fun in an exciting setting with premium drinks served everywhere.
Vail also offers indulgence in the most unlikely places – Bol at Vail Village is a bowling alley that doubles as a fine dining restaurant. Bowlers can sip on delicious wine, sparkling, and side dishes, while showing off their skills to knock down those pins.
Vail is so easy to get around, once again showing how committed they are to making everyone’s visit enjoyable and easy. The buses pass from town to town every few minutes, they are free and punctual. Even wandering around town, you’ll be helped when it’s cold, with fireplaces and heaters scattered around the pedestrian areas, plus beautiful sculptures to peruse. There is even a fountain with fire dancing in it, quite a sight to be seen on a beautiful cold winter night.
If you want to spend some time shopping, there are all kinds of high-end boutique establishments in Vail. From Gorsuch to jewelry stores, crystal and fossil shops to cowboy boots, you can find it all in Vail, plus, of course, there are art galleries galore. So you can squeeze in whatever you want to do (and have the energy to do it!) Or, of course, relax and not do much, whatever your heart desires.
Now we haven’t even started talking about the mountain! Suffice it to say, one Vail ski resort is famous the world over for a reason – it’s the largest ski resort in Colorado, USA, and it truly has skiing for everyone. The front end offers beginner, intermediate and advanced racing with brushes, clearings, slopes and slides to choose from. The back bowls at Vail are truly legendary. Most bowls are left natural and there is nothing quite like them, especially on a dusty day. Miles and miles of terrain stretching as far as the eye can see, waiting for you to explore.
The beauty, the vastness, the luxurious nature of it all is something to behold. Find your “only in Vail” spirit.
