Vail is widely recognised and often voted one of the top ski resorts in the world, and one of the best for ski holidays in the USA. Purpose built in traditional Tyrolean style, this charming traffic free resort is famed for its luxury, creature comforts and service designed to create an unforgettable ski holiday. It is very picturesque - sometimes you may be tempted to think that you are actually in Austria, but with the excellent service, top standard tuition, wide variety of après-ski, fine cuisine and exciting shopping all on hand - this is America and a Colorado ski holiday at its best.

The ski area is incredible due to the variety of well signposted terrain. The runs are long, wide and fun with mountain restaurants situated at strategic points throughout the area. The famous back-bowls are a playground for powder hounds with acres of gladed and non-gladed runs to perfect your technique. Ideal for skiers of every level of ability and for rubbing shoulders with VIPs!
