Places to Go Glamping in Colorado: Vail
Book the best Vail resorts for families in Colorado
Established less than 50 years ago, saying the small town has grown rapidly in popularity is quite an understatement. World-famous Vail skiing and a high celebrity quotient have put it on the map for many travelers. Located in the heart of the Vail Valley, in the Colorado Rockies, it's a town created by and for skiing but has grown to a year-round destination that's a favorite with families and lovers of the outdoors. In addition to the world-class winter activities (not only skiing and boarding, but also snowmobiling, snowshoeing, snow tubing and sleigh rides), the town is becoming a hot spot for summer adventure with the launch of Epic Discovery, where visitors can zipline, take scenic gondola rides and off-road tours, fly down an alpine coaster and tackle an adventure course; elsewhere in town, there's top-notch waterfall hikes, challenging and family-friendly mountain-bike and road cycling routes, and many nearby golf options.
