Vail holiday rentals - for those that want it all

Colorado is just great for skiing. They have Aspen, Telluride, Crested Butte, and the second largest, and most popular, resort in the USA - Vail. Under two hours west of Denver. The resort itself is purpose built – with a wide range of Vail holiday apartments and rentals - and inspired by Zermatt, and everything is within easy reach. With fantastic amenities ranging from a cinema that serves cocktails, to a bar-and-restaurant-cum-bowling alley, to two ice rinks and many award winning spas, even non-skiers won't get bored. Whether you're on or off the slopes, you'll be blown away by the range and the quality of the dining options.

The actual ski area covers an impressive 5,289 acres of terrain, with 193 pistes. Over half of the pistes are rated advanced or expert, and some are seriously demanding – perhaps that's why Lindsey Vonn, the best skier in America's history, calls Vail home – but a holiday rental Vail is for skiers of all abilities, as you'll also find one of the largest and best ski schools in the country. It also has a Nordic Center where you can learn to cross country ski, and plenty to offer snowboarders, with one pro terrain park and two for beginners. There are plenty of other activities on offer at Adventure Ridge: tubing, snowmobiles, zip lines, ski biking. And, like many other ski resorts, a Vail holiday rental isn't just for winter - fun doesn't stop when the snow melts, and in the summer you can go back to Adventure Ridge for zipline activities, or go hiking, rafting, biking, horse riding, fishing, and more.
