Lionshead Village
The second base village, west of Vail Village, and the starting point of the Eagle Bahn Gondola. More relaxed and family-friendly than Vail Village.
Lionshead Village lies about 1.5 kilometres west of Vail Village. Developed in 1969 alongside the Lionshead gondola, it is now Vail's second-largest resort village, with hotels, shops, restaurants and an ice rink. Its atmosphere is more laid-back and better suited to families than Vail Village. The Eagle Bahn Gondola departs from here for the Eagle's Nest summit area, and skiing in winter, hiking and biking in summer all begin here. A free shuttle runs between Lionshead and Vail Village, or you can walk along the Gore Creek Trail in about 20 minutes.
