So if you are flying, you will want to fly into either Denver International Airport (DIA)

or Vail's Regional Airport, Eagle County Regional Airport (EGE).

Flights into Eagle (often listed as Vail or Vail-Eagle) are generally more expensive and frequently require a plane change in Denver. However, it is only 40 minutes by car to Vail once you land.

Denver is 100 miles and several mountain passes from Vail and we have no idea what the weather might look like -could be literally anything from sunny 80s to full-blown blizzard- so here are some different options for getting to Vail.

We are also happy to help coordinate car-pooling and pick ups where we can. Just let Molly or Erik know if you would like help with finding your best ride.

Rental Car-

Of course, if you want a car to get around during your stay, all the accommodations have parking and it can be much easier if you are traveling with ski gear. We recommended asking about four-wheel drive or snow tires, but you just take I-70 the whole way, you can do it!

SHUTTLE SERVICES

If you don't want to drive there are shuttle services and busses.

Summit Express

$75/per person

You can rent an individual shuttle, or for a less pricey choice, they have schedule rides with scheduled stops. The cars are roomy and nice and the drivers are friendly and experienced driving in the snow. Molly and Erik use this service frequently.

Bustang

$17/ per person

These busses pick up at Union Station at regularly scheduled intervals. They are nice, clean, have wifi, and experienced bus drivers.

Sometimes the busses can fill up and run out of space in the super busy months, but it shouldn't be that crazy this particular week in April (we planned it that way!).

Epic Mountain Express

https://www.epicmountainexpress.com/

Starting at $79

You can rent a shuttle for a group of any size and get picked up at the airport and dropped at your destination or join a scheduled ride with others. They are very used to dealing with mountain roads and people traveling with ski gear.
