Things to Do in Vail Besides Skiing

Long before Vail Mountain became global renown, or even a name, its vision burned bright in the head and heart of two dreamers, fellow skiers, and World War II vets, Earl Eaton and Pete Seibert. Earl and Pete’s histories shaped them and, in turn, shaped Vail. Together they built a legacy that birthed the iconic ski village loved by millions. Learn more about Vail history here.

Today, with 5317 acres of terrain, seven Legendary Back Bowls and three terrain parks, Vail is a top ski destination, but is it worth making the trip if skiing is NOT your thing?

Hare are the top things to do in Vail besides skiing (and attending the AAOA’s Explorers Course):

  • Explore Vail Village
  • Take a Ride in the Gondola for Scenic Views
  • Enjoy the World-Class Dining
    • Places to check out: Alpenrose, The Little Diner, Vintage, Mountain Standard, Sweet Basil (MICHELIN-recommended), Osaki’s (MICHELIN-recommended), Swiss Chalet Restaurant.
  • Explore the Betty Ford Alpine Gardens
  • Go Snowmobiling
  • Go Snowshoeing
  • Go Snow Tubing
  • Sleigh Rides
  • Ice Skating in Vail Village
  • Indulge in a Spa Day
  • Browse Art in Lionshead and Vail Village
    • Take a walk around Lionshead and Vail Village, and you’ll find beautiful art, which includes more than 55 murals, sculptures, paintings, and more. Check out the map.
  • Après Ski
    • Contrary to its name, skiing is not required to participate in one of the most exciting mountain pastimes of après ski. The best Après Ski in Vail: Garfinkel’s, Pepi’s, The George, and The Remedy Bar.
  • Shopping in Vail Village
  • Check Out Local Breweries
    • Colorado is home to one of the best craft beer scenes in the United States.
  • Ice Fishing
