Activities

With over 300 days of sunshine each year and fresh mountain air to clear your spirit, there’s plenty of time to enjoy Vail’s seemingly endless array of outdoor activities. Long celebrated as the Nation’s top skiing and snowboarding destination, Vail in the winter is something special to behold, indeed. In summer, the mountains come alive with wildflowers, hiking and biking trails, and much more. In Vail Square, you can shop in unique boutiques and galleries, skate on the outdoor ice rink, sip hot cocoa beside an outdoor fire pit or listen to a concert in the town square.

Explore Vail Mountain and the 350,000 acres of national forest that surround the resort, where you can enjoy alpine adventures ranging from skiing, snowboarding, Nordic skiing, snowshoeing and sleigh rides in winter to hiking, mountain biking and fly fishing in summer. Or discover renowned cultural events, such as the Bravo! Vail Valley Music Festival, the Vail International Dance Festival and so much more.
