Set to open in December, the Resort's ideal alpine location in Vail Village opens up year-round possibilities for outdoor sports, cultural experiences and family fun.

High in the Colorado Rocky Mountains, Vail invites year-round outdoor pursuits from skiing and snowboarding to hiking and golfing, plus offers lively nightlife, great food and boutique shopping. Life in Vail centers in Vail Village, and beginning this winter, Four Seasons Resort Vail will be at the heart of it all.

Relax and Rejuvenate
Back at the Resort, the Spa provides restorative treatments for bodies stretched by physical activity and skin challenged by high altitude conditions, while natural, locally sourced ingredients – including evergreen, fir and juniper - pamper in massages, facials and more. Romantic couples' suites with whirlpools and fireplaces offer private retreats.

Another way to relax while continuing to take in the great outdoors: the Resort's outdoor pool. Heated year-round and free of harsh chemicals (it's a saline pool), it's a great place to soothe tired muscles, or cuddle up in deck chairs by the large stone fireplace while enjoying Four Seasons signature Haut Chocolate.

Time to Refuel
Inside the Resort, another massive fireplace commands attention in the lodge lobby and Fireside Bar and Lounge, the perfect place for après-ski drinks. Featuring a full selection of martinis and cocktails, the Bar will specialise in Latin American classics such as the caipirinha, pisco sour, mojito and Cuba Libre. Hot and cold tapas and sushi accompany the evening.

Char-broiled steaks and chops flavoured with house-made rubs and sauces take centre stage in Flame Restaurant, where selected mains are prepared tableside, and sides are shared family-style. Local specialties, including local elk and buffalo, are being sourced from Colorado's farms and ranches in preparation for opening. The wine list is distinctly New World, featuring unusual labels from Oregon, California and South America, as well as other international wine-producing regions.

Tucking in for the Night
Lodge accommodations are also inspired by the great outdoors. Every one of the 121 suites and rooms has its own easy-to-light gas fireplace for cozy evenings, and offers innovative options for connecting rooms and suites. This means that parties from two to sixteen can easily customise combinations of living and sleeping areas.
