Vail glamping means enjoying the mountains, forests, and lakes in comfort year-round.
Vail may be best known as a ski resort town, but it offers year-round adventures for outdoor lovers. Look for wildflowers in the spring and colorful foliage in the fall. In the summer, numerous hiking trails near town lead to waterfalls, alpine lakes, and sweeping views, with plenty more in the nearby White River National Forest. Bag a 14er in the Tenmile, Mosquito, and Swatch ranges. Go fishing in nearby rivers and streams or get out on the water at Sylvan Lake State Park or Dillon. Once the snow falls, the front side and back bowls of Vail offer plenty of downhill fun. For even more terrain, head to Copper Mountain, Breckenridge, or Aspen. You can find some rustic cabins and yurts in public parks and forests and a network of backcountry ski huts, but for more options, look for private cabins, yurts, tipis, and luxury tents, with deluxe amenities like fireplaces, hot tubs, and wifi.
