About Vail

Vail is a mountain resort town in Eagle County, built around Vail Ski Resort and the high-alpine tourism economy. Its origin story is tied to veterans of the 10th Mountain Division, who trained nearby at Camp Hale and later helped shape Colorado's ski industry. Today Vail is known for hotels, dining, skiing, summer events, and a carefully managed village setting. It feels international and polished, but its identity still comes from the surrounding mountains, snow, and outdoor recreation.
