Vail, Colorado
Vail is the largest mountain destination in the Inspirato Collection, with countless accommodations. Stay steps from the gondola in the heart of Vail at one of our 20 luxury condos at Solaris, ranging in size from two to six bedrooms, like the stunning fourth-floor Prima, boasting a balcony with views of Vail Mountain. The Bavarian-style Sonnenalp hotel offers cozy suites in the heart of the village, as well as a European spa and on-site dining. Just a short drive away from the village on Gore Creek sits Juniper, a modern five-bedroom residence with ample outdoor space for taking in the fresh mountain air.

Forecasting Your Vail Vacation
The Colorado sun is intense, even on the rare occasion when it's behind the clouds. Sunscreen with a high SPF rating is a must. Colorado's mountain weather is another part of the adventure. A winter snowstorm can last for days and produce three feet of fresh powder. In the summer, warm breezes often usher in afternoon rain, and you can expect a slight chill when the sun sets.
