Vail, Colorado is a coveted international destination. With its snow-covered peaks, stunning Aspen trees, and crisp mountain air, there is something really special about this town.

Cozy, quaint, and luxurious, Vail seamlessly blends adventure with rejuvenation, sophistication, and wellness.
This winter, imagine giving yourself a truly restorative vacation centered on well-being, fitness, and time outdoors. A winter ski destination that blends movement with intention is the perfect way to awaken both body and mind. Vail offers this chance to recharge and reset.
Vail Mountain has over 5,000 acres of skiable terrain, 32 lifts, and 278 trails, with an annual average of 354 inches of snow. Vail offers an incredible array of winter snow sports and outdoor activities, from skiing and snowboarding to snowshoeing, cross country skiing, fat-tire biking, and ice skating. For the thrill-seekers, heli-ski options, snowcat skiing, or ice climbing will satisfy that adventurous spirit, while families and beginner skiers can ease in at ski school and tailored programming. Depending upon where you stay, there is mountain access by chairlift or gondola.
And when your calves and quads have had enough for the day and the mountain glow sets in, there are many options to recharge. Discover a new yoga class or visit an oxygen bar. Reinvigorate yourself through salt therapy at the Himalayan Salt Therapy Lounge at The Hythe, or try sound and red light therapy at the Aquarian Uprising.
For full-day restoration, spend the day at the Four Seasons Vail spa, newly renovated and featuring hot tubs, cold plunge pools, sauna, steam room, and blissfully serene relaxation spaces. From full-body massage therapy to gua sha facials and relaxation soaks, there are treatments to delight all.
