We are so excited to welcome our nearest & dearest to Vail! From the charming pedestrian downtown to stunning mountain views, endless hiking trails, family-friendly activities and world-class eating, this mountain town shines in the summer.

Vail is a 2-hour drive from Denver International Airport (DEN) or a 40-minute drive from Eagle County Regional Airport (EGE).

There are many hotels in Vail and most of them are concentrated within the map borders shown below. This area is largely pedestrian-only and serviced with easy hop on-hop off trolly busses. Beyond those borders (and sometimes within!), there are many Airbnb and home rentals which have daytime bus routes into the town center and are serviced at night by Ubers or taxis.

See below for more travel details and our Q&A page for some other helpful tips.

We recommend flying into Denver International Airport (DEN), which is about a 2-hour drive from Vail. From there, you can either rent a car or arrange a shuttle to your hotel or Airbnb. Shuttle options are listed below. Alternatively, you can fly into Eagle County Regional Airport (EGE), which is just a 40-minute drive to Vail, though there are fewer flight options available. Car rentals and shuttle services are also available from EGE.

*pro tip: despite being loyal Avis customers, we have continuously had issues with the Avis rental car shuttle at DEN. If you choose it, be prepared for a slightly longer wait.

Vail is built around Vail Ski Resort and has two pedestrian ‘villages’: Lionshead Village toward the west and Vail Village toward the east. Their centers are about 1.5 miles apart (connected easily by free trolly busses until 1:30am).

Vail Village tends to have a livelier scene at night, with more restaurants and bars. It’s where you will exit the gondola at the end of our wedding night. Lionshead village is quieter, family-friendly, and where you will enter the gondola at the beginning of our wedding.

Just beyond central Vail there are more hotels and home/condo rentals. These are also great options where we’ve stayed. They’re accessible by bus, ubers/taxis, or car (there are many parking garages within Vail proper). When we visit, we usually stay at an Airbnb as it gives us a little more space and allows us to cook some of our own meals.

We’ve arranged room blocks for our wedding at Vail-owned hotels because Vail Resorts manages our venue. If the room block works for you, great! If not, there are many other nearby options.

Central Vail is mostly car free. When you arrive you will park your car (check policies with your hotels) and walk or take the bus around.

The bus functions like a free trolly. You can hop on and hop off its loop and get almost anywhere. It runs every few minutes between 6:30am-1:30am.

If you’re staying outside Vail proper, fear not! It’s easy to get to and from the villages. Busses connect all these areas and are very popular. You can also drive into town and park at one of a few garages. And there are uber / taxi stations in both Vail and Lionshead villages.
