# Vail

Founded in 1962, Vail, Colorado is home to world-famous ski slopes, Bavarian-inspired architecture, neighbourhoods and inspiring mountain views. Quaint and welcoming, Vail offers a variety of exciting outdoor recreational activities, festivals and events throughout the year. Travellers visit Vail year after year to enjoy its breathtaking panoramas, incredible dining scene and European resort atmosphere.
Vail Mountain's expansive ski resort is famous for good reason: its legendary bowls of unique beauty. The seven bowls include the Sun Down Bowl, Sun Up Bowl, Tea Cup Bowl, China Bowl, Siberia Bowl, Inner Mongolia Bowl and Outer Mongolia Bowl. These runs are more difficult than some of those at the front of the mountain, but experienced skiers will enjoy the breathtaking views that accompany the challenge. After a day spent touring the slopes, recharge at an après-ski happy hour in town. Whether you're looking for alfresco dining in the shade of Vail Mountain or a cosy campfire snack, you'll find options for every occasion and palate. Be sure to visit the Colorado Snowsports Museum and Hall of Fame to discover Vail's history and learn about skiing and snowboarding icons through interactive exhibits.
