About Vail

Vail has two base villages, and you can’t drive into either. Gondola One leaves from Vail Village. The Eagle Bahn Gondola leaves from Lionshead, a bit further west.

The town runs a free bus between Lionshead, Vail Village and Golden Peak. Park once and ride it.

The public garages fill early on powder days, weekends and holidays. That is when a reserved spot matters.

Good to know

    Park by your gondola

    Book the night before

    On a powder day the garages can be full before the lifts open.

  3. 3

    Ride the free bus

    It runs between the villages all day, so leave the car where it is.

  4. 4

    Check Vail Pass

    I-70 over Vail Pass closes in bad storms. Look before you leave.
