Vail, world-famous for its skiing, transforms in every season into a landscape of mountain views, alpine meadows, and hidden valleys just waiting to be explored. From gondola rides to rugged backroads, sightseeing in Vail offers something for everyone—whether you’re a casual explorer or a mountain enthusiast.

For an effortless and classic way to soak up the scenery, a Scenic Gondola Ride whisks you straight to mountaintop overlooks with panoramic views of the Gore and Sawatch Ranges. It’s quick, family-friendly, and ideal for photos or a mountaintop lunch.

If you’d rather explore beyond the village, the Morning Camp Hale Scenic Jeep Tour is a must. This half-day ride winds through forest roads and open meadows with stops at breathtaking overlooks. For a cultural twist, the Morning Camp Hale History and Whiskey Scenic Jeep Tour combines sightseeing with stories from Vail’s WWII training grounds—topped off with a local whiskey tasting.

Want something with even more altitude? The Morning Red and White Mountain Jeep Tour climbs to one of the best vantage points near Vail, where you’ll enjoy sweeping 360° views of the Gore Range.

For a slower-paced adventure, the 2 Hour Group Horseback Ride offers a peaceful way to take in meadows, creeks, and mountain backdrops from the saddle.

Each of these tours is handpicked by our local team for quality, scenery, and local charm—ensuring your sightseeing in Vail is as memorable as the views themselves.
