A Peak Experience

Vail, Avon, and Beaver Creek, Colorado

Inspired by traditional villages in the Bavarian Alps, Vail, Colorado, offers the ideal winter escape. With its world-class skiing and snowboarding, eclectic dining scene, and breathtaking mountain views, this glam retreat will definitely transport you.

  • After a morning of snowboarding, warm up with a hot drink overlooking the snowy vistas.
  • Take a soul-soothing dip in one of Glenwood Springs’ thermal pools and enjoy views of the surrounding mountains.

Must-Do: Featuring more than 5,200 acres of terrain, including its famous Back Bowls, Vail caters to all levels of skiers and snowboarders. Looking for something less extreme? Try snowshoeing or ice-skating—or take a scenic gondola ride for Insta-worthy panoramic vistas.

Eat: One of Vail’s longest-running restaurants, Sweet Basil has an eclectic-fusion menu where American classics meet global fare. Think dishes like Alaskan halibut with clams, polenta, and okra tempura-style, or a “surf and turf” with beef tenderloin and tiger prawn, served with a lobster crema and pasilla chili glaze. Plus, it’s right in the heart of Vail Village, so after dinner you can enjoy some festive mountain nightlife.

Day-Trip: Take a scenic drive to Glenwood Springs, a bit more than 60 miles away, for a rejuvenating experience. Known for its healing mineral waters, Glenwood Springs has various places to soak your worries (and sore muscles!) away, including the world’s largest mineral hot springs pool and a more intimate spot right on the Colorado River.
