THE BEST!

We love the mountains! Hiking is wonderful, but skiing is our absolute favorite thing to do. A large part of the reason we always go to Vail is the Sonnenalp, it feels like home. The hotel is decorated like Bavaria, which is where the original Sonnenalp is. The rooms are…

My husband & I are coming to Colorado next week (for the first time) & are still trying to decide between Vail or Estes Park. Would you say there are enough outdoor things to do in Vail this time of year? It's a last-minute getaway (without our child!), & while we'd love to do some hiking & take in the scenery, we'd also love to simply relax! Thanks!

I agree that Vail has plenty to offer.Visit Brekenridge-Idaho Springs on the way up from Denver.We stayed at the Sonnenalp but I think there may be good alternatives worth trying.

I am looking for a short getaway for my daughter and me before she leaves for college! We would like a spa and a great pool. I know there's shopping close!

this is where you want to be. I've been coming here with my mom and now my daughter for years. Great Spa, cozy and safe rooms and lots of shops and restaurants within walking distance.

What is nearby? Restaurants? Hiking? Hot springs? Horseback riding?

Excellent restaurants surround the Sonnenalp. Hiking is available right there on Vail Mountain. Not sure about hot springs or horseback riding, although if I had to guess, they would be nearby as well.
