Vail is one of North America’s premier ski destinations, renowned for its legendary terrain, sweeping mountain views, and vibrant alpine village.

Beyond the slopes, visitors can enjoy snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, scenic gondola rides, and the thrills of tubing at Adventure Ridge.

Ideally located at the base of the mountain, Grand Hyatt Vail offers ski-in/ski-out access via its exclusive Chairlift 20, known as the Cascade Village Lift, and delivers a refined lodging experience that perfectly complements the energy and beauty of this iconic alpine escape.
