Ski Vail Colorado

Vail, Colorado, a world-class ski resort surrounded by the White River National Forest in the Rocky Mountains, ribbons along Interstate 70 about an hour and a half from Denver.  Residents, second-home owners, vacation-home owners, and visitors to Vail CO real estate enjoy spectacular views of the mountains, ski runs, golf courses, wildlife, and the quaint European-style town.  Combining the pristine location with luxury homes and amenities, the purchase of real estate in the Vail Valley is truly an investment for the soul.

The gently rolling valley includes five major Vail neighborhoods including East Vail and the Vail Golf Course, Vail Village, Lionshead, Cascade, and West Vail.  Located at Exit 180, East Vail is the first neighborhood after the Vail Pass.  It is about five miles east of Vail Village.  A popular choice for residents who work along the Front Range, the East Vail homes are also convenient to a cornucopia of recreational options.

At Exit 176, the charming real estate in Vail Village includes some of the most prestigious homes in Vail Valley.  The new Solaris, the Ritz Carlton Residences, luxury penthouses at Manor Vail, Vail Plaza Hotel & Club, and Four Seasons Resort are just a sampling of the sought-after luxury real estate.  With immediate access to the ski areas, Vail Village offers notable restaurants, boutiques, galleries, and social hot spots.

To the west, Vail' Billion Dollar Renewal project is in full swing.  The redeveloped Lionshead is home to exquisite resorts such as Arrabelle at Vail Square and Gore Creek Townhomes.  Beautiful ski-in/ski-out condominium homes, shops, restaurants, and skier services grace the pedestrian-friendly “green” district.  The Eagle Bahn Gondola here accesses Vail Mountain for hiking and mountain biking as well as skiing.

Vail Valley Homes

Then, a mile west of Lionshead is Cascade Village with its luxury homes and condominiums also located close to a chairlift up the ski mountain.  This neighborhood offers gold-medal fishing on Gore Creek.  Finally, a couple of miles from the ski areas, at Exit 173, West Vail offers more affordable properties, convenient supermarkets, and casual restaurants.

The free shuttle services every neighborhood, delivering you and your family to the ski areas and shopping districts from whatever real estate you decide to call your vacation home or fulltime home in the Rockies.
