There are a ton of great hike options in or near the town. Some of our favorites include Booth Falls Trail and Berrypicker Trail! If you're looking for something less strenuous, you can walk the Gore Creek Trail that winds through town along the Gore Creek.
Beautiful alpine garden and an easy walk from Vail Village!
It's a bit of an adventure to get to Piney Lake (about a 45 minute drive on a rough dirt road) but worth the work if you want to see an alpine lake with all the fall colors!
Great Italian food!
Amazing breakfast spot, we love the breakfast burrito and biscuit sandwich!
A Hughes family breakfast staple before a day of skiing, but they also have good lunch options!
Right at the base of the mountain with a deck looking right out onto the resort, a perfect spot for a bar-food lunch with a view.
A historic bar in Vail Village with live music and a great atmosphere!
Another great Italian restaurant in Vail Village!
Right along the Gore Creek river!
