Family Photos

Neighboring parks to the main village, like Donovan Pavilion, make excellent locations for family photos. Nearby the Gore Creek that runs through the town is a quaint spot where the family can gather together. Whimsical nature settings meet grand architecture, that provide the best of both worlds.

Engagements and Weddings

Up the Eagle Bahn Gondola sits the enchanting Wedding Deck. In the distance Mount Holy Cross stands tall; the peaks boast an ample amount of aspen and pine trees. The Holy Cross Deck is an amphitheater that hosts weddings. Located at the top of Vail Mountain, it offers grandiose views of the Vail Valley and Gore Mountain Range from every angle. In short, it is ideal for outdoor enthusiasts and perfect for stunning memories!

About Vail

The Bavarian-style villages give off a charming European vibe. Vail is made up of several villages: Cascade, Lionshead, Vail, and Golden Peak. Lionshead Village hosts restaurants, shops, and an ice rink. A quaint bridge built over the Gore Creek leads into Vail Village- filled with bars and world-class restaurants. This fanciful destination filled with cobbled walkways certainly provides ample views and backdrops. Due to the remoteness of the location, a $200 travel fee is required. The views, however, are priceless.
