    Always a great place to visit and wander, let alone the world class recreation. Compared to Vail…read moreVillage (which is about a 10-15 min walk), Lionshead could be described as a bit more private and larger, with a unique layout. I love the closeness of the Eagle Bahn gondola and many restaurants around. Plus, my favorite fall foliage trail, Berry Picker, starts here. Summer parking used to be free but now is $10/day and cheaper for less hours. Was definitely nice to have free parking back then! Winter time, I like to park at Donovan Park and grab the free bus. If you're super early, you can get close street parking here. They have an annual Oktoberfest and Dog Town usually sets up here during the Go Pro Mountain Games. Lots of good shops and places to eat.

    Lionhead village is sister village from vail village. The are a lot of similarities among the…read morevillages. After October 1st, most of the stores closed due to the first snow is almost here. Most of the visitors also leave town after the last farmers market that time. After that is skiing season that may take another two months to happen. The town centre has the European bell tower with motion puppets. The village build in slope and the public parking takes you right in the town. Overall visit during that time only takes 1 hour. The gondola at the back take you to mountain and allow to walk to other side gondola and come down to Vail Village and take the bus to the Lionhead Parking.

    Vail Village - Bummed out about missing that one thing back home?  Nope, not exactly.

    I've been to several major ski towns by now, but this village really stands out for me…read more.. For some reason, I expected some changes, but the place looked exactly the same as I remembered it from over 10 years ago! Every square inch is just so picturesque! I did feel that there were a few negatives...for me (the non-skier). I just wished they had more boutiques that weren't so ski-oriented...and nicer coffee shops. Despite being such a swanky village, they also seemed to run short on nice bakeries and coffee shops. In fact, I was nearly shocked how basic some places were! Plenty of nice restaurants though...and many had cool European ambiance. Again, I'm not a skier, but I had no problems spending my time (up to 6 hours or more) walking around this pretty village. It truly felt as if I was in Germany or Switzerland. LOVE this place!!

    Always a great experience. While the crowd is similar to Aspen, Vail is an appeal all its own. Well…read moredeveloped, it's a great remake of a high mountain European village. With the river, legendary restaurants like Sweet Basil, Mountain Standard, Matsuhisa and Up The Creek, concerts in the garden, wowzsies, what more could one want? Oh, just one thing... To call it by its name. It is Vail Village. It is beside Vail Mountain. So, a note. To the Yelper who created the entry: very few people say Vail Mountain Village. In fact, I've never heard it uttered that way. Not once. Yes, I know, it seems I'm being ill-tempered. An ol' bag. Nit-picking. Semantics though are some times reflective of sensibility.

The little mountain town of Vail, Colorado offers the perfect opportunity for love and peace in shear bliss. Life can be a bit more difficult and complicated to navigate. Even if you are not a resident of this beautiful community, plan a visit and just walk around in serenity . So why Vail, Colorado we have much to learn about ourselves. Or we can detach ourselves from all that is negative. Sometimes we need to get our heads together and our thinking patterns perfectly aligned. Come and walk around through the shops. They offer so many options for coffee, artisan ice cream, pizza, music, and other various activities. The streets for walking are so large that one can walk and if you get tired take the bus. It's a family affair and bring the furry babies along for the walk too. Look up and all around varied art pieces are beautifully placed around for your eyes to see. Get out and see what life brings you. Hold hands with the one that makes you smile. The dog can get their steps as you walk along the avenue. Love conquers all .

    Writing a review of Vail is like trying to describe chocolate to someone. It's great and you just…read morehave to try it. I went to Vail in late January and stayed at a killer townhouse on the shuttle route with buddies. I dream of the back bowls, there is so much varied terrain even for an average skier like myself. It is just incredible. Why are you even reading this review? You already know you should go.
