There’s no doubt that Colorado is top tier when it comes to ski adventures. So when we talk about skiing, one of the premiere locations with top class accommodation is Vail, Colorado. Vail has long catwalks to get from one ski area to the next, you will for sure need at least two to three days to navigate this location, after all, it is the largest ski area in the United States. When you take a break from hitting the slopes, some brunching and shopping or late evening fine dining will do you good. Our top three luxury Vail stays include:
