Vail might be best known for its world-class ski slopes and luxe mountain village, but it’s also a playground for anyone craving adventure. No matter the season, this valley knows how to get your heart racing.

In winter, snowmobiling near Vail Pass is the go-to for speed and scenery. The Alpine Express Two Hour Snowmobile Tour delivers big mountain views and a healthy dose of adrenaline—all in just a couple of hours. Want to turn things up a notch? Dog sledding near Leadville puts you behind a team of huskies for a once-in-a-lifetime experience that’s as thrilling as it is unique. And if you’d rather slow things down, guided snowshoe tours lead through peaceful, snow-dusted forests where the only sound is your own footsteps.

Once the snow melts, the adventure shifts to trails and rivers. The Shoshone Rapids Half Day Whitewater Rafting trip is a Vail summer classic, offering just the right mix of challenge and fun through the Colorado River’s famous Class III–IV rapids. On land, the Morning Xtreme Xplorer ATV Tour dives into rugged backcountry terrain, while the Morning Camp Hale Scenic Jeep Tour is perfect if you prefer your adventure with a side of comfort and panoramic alpine views.

All tours are led by local guides who live for these mountains. Our team hand-selects the highest-rated and most trusted experiences so you can push your limits—or just find your perfect mountain pace—with confidence.
