The Top 17 Sightseeing Tours in Vail

Vail isn’t just for skiers—its mountain views and alpine charm make it a stunning destination year-round. Sightseeing tours here are about slowing down, soaking in the scenery, and discovering local stories along the way.

For classic Rocky Mountain vistas, the Vail Scenic Gondola is a must. In summer, you’ll glide over wildflower-filled meadows with views stretching across the Gore and Sawatch Ranges. Once at the top, take an easy trail walk or relax with a drink while the kids play at mountaintop adventure zones.

If you’d rather explore with a guide, the Morning Camp Hale Scenic Jeep Tour is a fan favorite. You’ll travel deep into the high country—no hiking boots required—while learning about wildlife, history, and hidden local spots. For a twist, the Morning Camp Hale History and Whiskey Scenic Jeep Tour adds a fun tasting experience to your day, making it a top pick for couples or small groups. And if you’re after postcard-worthy views, the Morning Red and White Mountain Jeep Tour delivers the kind of sweeping alpine panoramas photographers love.

Prefer something slower-paced? The 2 Hour Group Horseback Ride offers a peaceful way to enjoy Vail’s valley and forests at a gentle rhythm.

Our local team curates each sightseeing tour for its scenery, storytelling, and authenticity. Whether you’re chasing mountain views or cultural insights, these experiences reveal Vail’s beauty from every angle.
