Winter in Vail is pure magic. While the world-class skiing gets most of the attention, there’s so much more to explore once the snow starts to fall. Think snowmobiles zipping across open meadows, cozy sleigh rides through starry mountain valleys, and quiet snowshoe trails that feel like stepping straight into a snow globe. Vail’s winter tours show off the best of Colorado’s cold-weather charm—whether you’re chasing adrenaline or just a peaceful break from the slopes.

If you’re short on time but want the classic Vail thrill, the Alpine Express Two Hour Snowmobile Tour is perfect. It’s scenic, beginner-friendly, and easy to fit into a ski-day schedule. For a deeper dive into mountain history and untouched wilderness, the Morning Half Day Camp Hale Snowmobile Tour with Lunch delivers a half-day of riding plus a warm-up meal with incredible views. Adventurous types looking to go all-in love the Full Day Summit Supreme Snowmobile Tour, an epic, full-day journey into the high alpine backcountry that’s big on both scenery and excitement.

Families with kids often opt for sleigh rides, complete with blankets and cocoa, while snowshoe tours offer a quieter way to explore Vail’s winter landscapes. And if you prefer a workout, Nordic skiing through the valley provides cardio with unbeatable mountain backdrops.
