Vail Village is the center of the Vail Valley scene, both night and day, winter and summer. The main Vista Bahn chairlift departs from this base area, and within a radius of a few blocks you'll find a variety of shops, restaurants, nightclubs, and hotels. Accommodations in this area tend toward the upscale end.

Since many of the streets in the heart of Vail Village are pedestrian-only, the best way to access the Village is either to take the free, lift-equipped Town of Vail shuttles that stop throughout the pedestrian village or to park at the Transportation Center, located just off the Frontage Road east of the main round-a-bout. Two-hour short-term parking is available near the pedestrian village in front of Buzz's Boards, and Check-Point-Charlie. Some hotels have private underground parking.
