The Vail Valley is home to world class ski areas, over a dozen golf courses, endless miles of hiking and biking trails, excellent fly-fishing, and every imaginable outdoor activity. It is also home to the Bravo! classical music festival, the Vail Jazz festival, the Vail Dance festival, the Vilar Performing Arts Center, art galleries, movie theaters, the world’s highest botanical garden, and a nonstop variety of cultural events. Vail may be known for its five star hotels and gourmet restaurants, but not far away lies the historic Camp Hale - home of the famed 10th Mountain Division. Family-oriented Beaver Creek, famous for its covered escalators and afternoon cookies, also hosts the top ski racers in the world on its Birds of Prey World Cup Course. While ski culture is at the heart of the Vail Valley, there is truly something for everybody, at all times of the year.
