OVERVIEW

Vail is a small town in Colorado, with pedestrian centres, residential districts and ski infrastructure spread along a narrow valley, while tourism dominates the economy. The relationship between alpine streets, ski slopes and polished resort life in a compact mountain town built around year round outdoor travel and town gives the wider destination a distinctive structure beyond its principal visitor area.

Skiing, hiking and cycling provide year round activity, while restaurants and events maintain a polished atmosphere. Prices are high and winter traffic can be heavy. Spending time with both alpine streets and ski slopes and polished resort life in a compact mountain town built around year round outdoor travel reveals more of the destination than focusing only on its best known sights.
