When it snows in the valley, Vail transforms into a serene winter escape. From hitting the slopes and exploring the charming village to relaxing by the fire with hot chocolate, there’s no better place to experience the winter season than at the Antlers at Vail.

Here are five (out of countless!) reasons to get excited for your Vail getaway this winter and why Antlers at Vail is the perfect home base.

1. Vail Mountain’s Legendary Terrain

We hope you are looking forward to Vail Mountain’s renowned trails as much as we are and getting ready for opening day on Friday, November 14th! Vail is recognized for its spectacular slopes and is the largest ski resort in Colorado, with 278 trails and seven Legendary Back Bowls across 5,317 acres. Staying at the Antlers at Vail makes it even easier to enjoy and access the mountain with a complimentary ski valet service that takes the stress out of lugging your ski and snowboard gear back to your condo. Plus, guests are welcome to use our newly renovated onsite ski locker room and boot dryers. And most importantly, we’re just a five-minute walk to the Eagle Bahn Gondola!

2. Cozy Après Hour and Dining Favorites

After an active day on the mountain, unwind and treat yourself to Vail’s array of local dining gems such as longtime local favorite Bart & Yeti’s, open since 1976, catch some live music at The Red Lion, or savor delicately crafted cocktails and bites at Sweet Basil, all just steps away from the base of the mountain from Lionshead’s Eagle Bahn Gondola or Vail Village’s Gondola One.

3. Family-Friendly Fun

Vail is a winter wonderland welcome to all families with plenty of winter activities for kids including tubing at Sage Outdoor Adventures, ice skating at Vail Square or Solaris Plaza, guided snow shoe tours with Walking Mountains Science Center, all followed by a relaxing stay at the Antlers. Families love gathering for a homemade meal prepared our Private Chef, Barry Robinson (so you don’t have to) – delivered straight to your door. Afterwards, kick back with board games by the lobby fireplace or relax in our heated pool and hot tubs that overlook the Gore Creek and the mountains.

4. Pet Friendly Vail Lodging

Here at the Antlers, we understand that pets are part of the family too and that’s why 20% of our condos are pet-friendly. Bring your furry four-legged companions along for an adventure here in Vail, with beautiful scenic walks along Gore Greek to Vail Village or visits to nearby off-leash dog-friendly parks, Stephens Park or Bighorn Park.

5. We Love Our Guests

We make our guests feel truly looked after. Complimentary offerings we are pleased to offer include a courtesy shuttle to in-town locations, a weekly happy hour with homemade appetizers and wine, a heated parking garage, a fitness center, and daily housekeeping service with extra Antlers Pantry items at your fingertips. We love to ensure your stay is as comfortable as possible after a day in the snow.
