Vail is
served by the Vail-Eagle County Airport, The airport is 4 miles west of
Eagle, which puts it about 20 miles east of Avon, and 30 miles west of
Vail. This is very mountainous terrain (with some of the world's finest
ski slopes). This is about the only location they could place an airport
to accommodate commercial aircraft. There is excellent bus (and
limousine, at times) transportation between the Eagle Airport and Vail.
Of course, there is the ever present 'rent-a-car' but, during the skiing
season it is strongly urged that you reserve a car well in advance or
there may not be one available upon your arrival.
It is the
rare individual needing an introduction to Vail — the playground of the
rich and famous. Of course, if you have it, it can be a lifetime
experience
— summer or winter. The shops here would put Beverly Hills to
shame but they do offer top quality and not just top prices.
Known for its incomparable world-class
skiing and riding, the Vail Valley additionally offers exciting nightlife,
shops, gourmet dining and nonstop outdoor adventures, both summer or
winter. Vail Mountain, 100 miles west of Denver, is larger than nearly
every other North American ski area, and is linked by a network of lifts
and trails. Those same slopes provide the perfect trails for mountain
bikes in summer.
