Mountain Lifestyle

The Best Things About Living Here

Whether you're here full time or a few weeks a year, the valley rewards people who love to get outside, then come home to great food and music.

Skiing & Riding at Your Doorstep

Vail Mountain's front side and legendary Back Bowls, Beaver Creek's groomers and village charm, plus Nordic trails, snowshoeing and skating. In the valley, a ski day can start with a short drive or a walk to the lift.

Mountain Golf

Courses wind through the valley floor with peaks on every hole, from public favorites to private club communities in Edwards and Cordillera.

Rivers & Fly Fishing

The Eagle River and Gore Creek run right through the valley, so an evening on the water is easy to fit in after work.

Hiking & Biking

Paved paths like the Gore Valley Trail link the towns, while singletrack and alpine trails climb into the high country.

Music & Performing Arts

Bravo! Vail and the Vail Dance Festival fill the Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater in summer, and the Vilar Performing Arts Center in Beaver Creek hosts shows all year.

Village Dining & Après

Slope-side patios, fireside lounges and chef-driven restaurants in Vail Village, Lionshead, Beaver Creek and the Riverwalk at Edwards.

Gardens & Wellness

Stroll the Betty Ford Alpine Gardens, unwind at mountain spas and enjoy a fitness-minded lifestyle at altitude.
