Beaver Creek Snowshoeing

People from all over the world select Beaver Creek for their perfect vacation home location.  Perched in a hidden alcove of the Rocky Mountain's Vail Valley, Beaver Creek real estate is set between the splendid rocks and the big Colorado sky.  The "consummate kid-friendly resort," as Ski Magazine calls Beaver Creek, features a pedestrian-friendly Alpine village at its heart which lies on the eastern side of the resort.  Beaver Creek Village real estate is home to quaint shops, art galleries, bars and restaurants, trail heads, festivities, and kids' meeting places as well as family activities such as mini golf, ice skating, a children's museum, Frisbee golf, day camp, and play schools.

Connected by Vail Resorts' Village-to-Village concept, residents of luxury homes in Beaver Creek can ski, snowshoe, hike and bike to Bachelor Gulch real estate mid-mountain and the fabulous Ritz-Carlton amenities and on to Arrowhead at the Beaver Creek Mountain's westernmost gateway.  Real estate in Arrowhead Village features the Broken Arrow Restaurant and many private luxury homes and condominiums.  In addition, the towns of Edwards and Avon offer daily necessities and services within a five-minute drive.

Resort

Influenced in design by renowned resorts such as Switzerland's St. Moritz, Italy's Cortina, and Spain's Val d'Aran, Beaver Creek is an exciting and beautiful community lined with aspen groves and exceptional ski trails.  The resort hosted the World Ski championships in 1989 and for several years the Visa Birds of Prey™ World Cup Downhill Ski Race.  The resort is just as popular as a summertime adventure destination for organizations such as Jeep King of the Mountain, fly-fishing and international-cycling events, and the TransRockies Run.

In 2005, it celebrated 25 years of excellence and continues to be a leader in guest service and terrain maintenance.  The gentle groomed runs of Strawberry Park, intermediate trails of Larkspur and Rose Bowl, the rugged glades and bumps of Grouse Mountain, the Nordic trails, and terrain parks each speak to each level of athlete who conquers them.  A world-class ski-and-snowboard school features its own child's gondola, the Buckaroo Express, to whisk students to the practice terrain up on the hillside.

Beaver Creek Mountain Biking

From the slopes to the spa experiences afterwards, residents and visitors are well-pampered.  Over time, you will sample Park Hyatt Resort & Spa, Avanyu Spa at the mountain-top community of Cordillera, the private Bachelor Gulch Spa in the Ritz-Carlton, Rock Resort's new Osprey, and Spa Struck in The Charter.

Excellent cuisine is another signature experience for gourmets and food critics alike.  Regular awards follow the area chefs and the local hospitality industry.  From Spago, the flagship of master chef Wolfgang Puck, to a lunch at Summer Thyme at the Red Sky Golf Club to Zach's Cabin with Chef Tim McCaw, you'll find healthy, unique meals with creative presentation.  Every visitor must dine at the resort's signature restaurant, Beano's Cabin.

Just 20 miles from the Eagle County Regional Airport and two hours from the Denver International Airport, the resort is easily accessible, many times via non-stop flights.
