Vail

Tucked in Colorado's Gore Valley amidst the Rocky Mountains and the White River National Forest, Vail has blossomed into a true year-round destination. Located two hours west of Denver, this laid-back mountain town draws outdoor enthusiasts for world-class skiing, hiking, biking, and fishing, plus a summer scene anchored by multiple music and art festivals. Stretching from East Vail to Gypsum, the Vail Valley offers full- and part-time residents understated luxury, standout schools, and small-town privacy, with properties ranging from ski-in/ski-out condos in Vail Village to private estates in Beaver Creek and amenitized golf course communities in Eagle-Vail and Edwards.
