Peaks, Valleys & Beyond: Exploring Vail Mountain

Vast landscapes of freshly-fallen powder and snow-capped mountains as far as the eye can see— welcome to a winter wonderland, boasting over 5,300 acres of terrain.

From low-key loops to challenging routes, 166 miles of hiking and interpretive trails are yours to explore. If cycling is more your speed, Vail Mountain is made for mountain biking. With 26 trails for families, first-timers, and thrill-seekers, this is terrain made for two wheels. But there’s more to the mountains than high-adrenaline action. Ride up in one of the area’s gondolas for a peaceful afternoon of fly fishing, or explore the Betty Ford Alpine Gardens, the highest botanical garden in the United States.

Seeking something extra special? Book a downhill mountain biking experience led by a professional guide, or spend a day riding with one of the best freeride Enduro mountain bikers in the world.

Your on-mountain experience begins with purchasing your lift ticket. For a seamless ski or snowboarding experience, we recommend booking your lift ticket as soon as youreserve your stay at The Hythe—or at least seven days before your trip—for the best prices and to ensure you secure your spot during peak season.

Traveling from afar? All you’ll need to bring to Vail Mountain is your appetite for adventure. Pack light for your alpine getaway and rent top-of-the-line equipment from True North, our on-property rental and retail provider, for slopeside or village pickup. Whether you’d like a helping hand getting started, want to build on your skills, or need a guide for exploring new terrain, Vail Mountain also offers personalized, professional lessons for all ages, families, and larger groups.
