Vail is connected with pedestrian streets (and our free in-town shuttle system) following the winding Gore Creek from Vail Village to Lionshead. A variety of accommodations are available throughout Vail Village and Lionshead. Stroll and explore shops and restaurants after your mountain adventure, bar hop at night, and more. Beyond the core villages, you’ll discover East and West Vail, both offering lodging, dining and shopping just a short drive or free bus ride away.
Vail Village
Cross the covered bridge and stroll up Bridge Street to Gondola One. In between, you’ll find a quaint village atmosphere with world-class restaurants, shops, late-night hot spots and more.
Lionshead Village
Lionshead’s Tyrolean alpine village is completely closed off to cars and buses and nestled at the base of the Eagle Bahn Gondola (#19) containing an ice rink, shops, restaurants and bars.
Cascade Village
Conveniently located one-quarter mile west of Lionshead Village near all of Vail’s action and adventure, this resort Village provides the ultimate vacation experience with Chairlift 20 to Vail Mountain skiing and snowboarding, the gold-medal fly fishing waters of Gore Creek, Gessner restaurant, Grand Hyatt, a spa and more!
