Vail Tourism Attractions

Colorado's Vail valley has loads of attractions that the whole family can enjoy. Perhaps the largest attraction that draws the most tourists each year in the winter and summer is Vail Mountain.

There's definitely something for everyone in Vail Valley, Colorado!

When you compare Vail to most other Colorado ski towns, you'll see it is quite different from what you're used to. Located 122 miles west of Denver off I-70, it is truly something unique. In the past only farmers lived here - this was before the resort came to town. When President Ford was in power, the area actually acted as the western White House. In fact, President Gerald Ford and his wife continue to reside here, and host yearly celebrity golf and skiing competitions.

If you decide to vacation here don't forget to visit the Colorado Ski Museum and Ski Hall of Fame. This destination was opened in 1976. The museum has a mission to preserve the history of skiing and snowboarding in the state. It's a private, non-profit organization that receives its funding through memberships and special events.
