Winter in Vail is pure mountain magic. While the skiing gets most of the spotlight, the adventures waiting beyond the lifts are just as unforgettable. From high-speed rides to peaceful snowshoe strolls, these guided winter tours reveal a whole new side of the Rockies.

If you’re craving thrills, nothing compares to a snowmobile adventure. The Alpine Express Two Hour Snowmobile Tour is a quick and scenic way to experience open meadows and big alpine views—perfect for first-timers or families short on time. For something longer, the Morning Half Day Camp Hale Snowmobile Tour with Lunch offers a mix of excitement and comfort. You’ll explore historic terrain, zip through wide valleys, and refuel with a warm meal mid-ride.

Serious adventurers gravitate toward the Full Day Summit Supreme Snowmobile Tour, which pushes deep into the backcountry for an all-day ride through powder fields and high ridgelines. And if you’d rather set your own pace, the Two Hour Vail Snowmobile Rental lets you take control of your own machine while sticking to safe, groomed routes.

Prefer something slower? Snowshoeing and dog sledding are also great options for those seeking quiet beauty and wildlife encounters in Vail’s winter wonderland.

Every experience here is hand-selected by locals who live for Vail winters. Whether you’re chasing speed, serenity, or something in between, these tours bring the season’s best to life.
