Things To Do

Vail’s slogan is “VAIL - Like Nothing on Earth”, and believe us, we think that’s true. We want you to enjoy every second of your stay! Here are some recommendations when preparing for your trip. High Altitude Vail is breathtaking in the summer. No, we mean it, it could literally take your breath away! The village is located 8,000 feet above sea level. Altitude sickness can hit anyone, regardless of physical condition or age. The most common symptoms include headache, dizziness, nausea, fatigue, shortness of breath, loss of appetite, and unrestful sleep. The key to surviving high altitude is staying hydrated. So while there will be plenty of celebrating over the weekend, make sure you drink plenty of water. Also, please note that alcohol is more potent at high altitudes so be sure to drink a lot of water at all times. The general rule is 1 drink here = 2 drinks there. If possible, consider arriving early to give yourself time to adjust. Altitude sickness usually passes after 24 hours.
