5 days in Vail Itinerary

Originally built as a base for Vail Ski Resort, the town of Vail has blossomed into its own destination, but still has less than 6,000 permanent residents.

Take a break from the city and head to Vail Mountain Resort and Vail Recreation Path. Venture out of the city with trips to Glenwood Springs (Thermal Spas & Hanging Lake Trail) and Breckenridge Ski Resort (in Breckenridge). And it doesn't end there: glide through natural beauty at Vail Resorts Nordic and Backcountry School, trek along Booth Falls Trail, get outside with Buzz's Backcountry Adventures, and sample the fine beverages at 10th Mountain Whiskey & Spirit Company.
