🗺 Key Stops
East Vail → Vail Village → Lionshead → West Vail
⚠️ The walk to the bus stop is uphill, at altitude (~8,200 ft), and possibly icy. For most trips from this house, a rental car or rideshare will be easier.
Uber and Lyft do operate in Vail, but availability is limited compared to cities—especially during peak hours, late nights, and storms. Expect longer wait times (10–20+ min) and surge pricing during ski season.
Tip: Don't count on rideshares as your primary transport. A rental car shared between your group is far more reliable and cost-effective.
Eagle Airport (EGE): 30 miles / ~35 minutes to Vail. Seasonal flights available. Uber/Lyft ~$50–80.
Denver Airport (DEN): 100 miles / ~2 hours to Vail via I-70. Uber/Lyft ~$250+ or shuttle services ~$80–100/person.
Epic Mountain Express Shuttle →AWD or 4WD is strongly recommended—one per family is ideal. Mountain roads and I-70 conditions require it in winter. We'll coordinate specifics closer to the trip!
The house has a 2-car garage + 2 additional parking spaces. Carpool with others in the group to save!
