4Vail, Colorado
Vail, Colorado, is known as a premier ski destination, but it also has the appearance and ambiance of a European alpine resort town. Modeled after Swiss and Austrian mountain villages, Vail is home to charming chalets, snow-covered peaks, and cobblestone pedestrian streets lined with boutique shops and cafes. In winter, the town feels like a snow-globe scene from the Alps, complete with Christmas lights and cozy, fireside lodges. Vail’s European-inspired architecture and mountain setting give it the feel of an authentic Alpine escape in the heart of the Rockies.
