Vail, Colorado
Vail is the largest mountain destination in the Inspirato Collection, with 35 accommodations. Stay steps from the gondola in the heart of Vail at one of our 25 luxury condos at Solaris, ranging in size from two to six bedrooms. The Bavarian-style Sonnenalp hotel offers cozy suites in the heart of the village, as well as a European spa and on-site dining.
Bell Tower—a five-bedroom condo—is Inspirato’s most centrally located home in Vail, just a two-minute walk along a heated walkway to the gondola. For sweeping valley views, stay in a modern duplex like Grand View atop a mountain ridge. Nearly all homes come with one or two parking spots in the village.
Legendary Gore Valley
Boasting thousands of skiable acres, posh residences and an array of world-class amenities just steps from the lifts, Vail Mountain is a magnet for discerning jetsetters and dedicated skiers. Known as the largest, and arguably the most popular, ski mountain in the United States, Vail offers nearly 200 trails for serious mountain devotees to explore. At its base, Vail Village is reminiscent of an elegant alpine resort, teeming with upscale boutiques, Michelin-starred chefs, and laid-back bars serving up cold drinks and warm company. Off the slopes, Vail Village offers every comfort and pleasure, from spas and shopping to après and fine dining.

Forecasting Your Vail Vacation
The Colorado sun is intense, even on the rare occasion when it's behind the clouds. Therefore, sunscreen with a high SPF rating is a must. Colorado's mountain weather is another part of the adventure. A winter snowstorm can last for days and produce three feet of fresh powder. Warm breezes often usher in afternoon rain, and you can expect a slight chill when the sun sets.
