Discover Vail in Fall

Autumn is a magical time in the Colorado Rockies, as nature slows down to prep for its long winter’s nap. Take a cue from Mother Nature and slow down in the serene mountain town that is Vail. One of the most spectacular shows on earth can be found right here every autumn, as the fall foliage transforms from summer green into a palette of red, gold, auburn and bronze, a bastion of brilliant hues. Breathtaking is the only way to describe it, and words alone can’t do it justice. Hiking Vail Mountain in fall is akin to sauntering through a kaleidoscope, one that leaves you with a mix of bedazzlement and tranquility.

You are on top of the world, gazing down at the valley below. You are light. You are airy. You are free. You are spending your winter in Vail, Colorado. Magical moments are born in Vail every minute, especially when you visit the village in winter. Take a gondola ride up Vail mountain, soaring above the majestic peaks.
