Residences Vail

Nestled at the base of the Vail Mountain and surrounded by the White River National Forest, the charming town of Vail is a gateway for winter sports such as skiing and snowboarding. Embraced by the majestic Rocky Mountains, breathtaking natural landscapes and some of the best all-terrain outdoor activities in the world, Vail offers an array of exciting things to see and do throughout the year.

It’s October, and that means -- in the Northern Hemisphere, anyway -- winter is coming. This is the season when even the most popular summer destinations look drab and make you want to duck under the covers. But many charming towns across the U.S. know how to do winter right.
