Best Activities in Steamboat Springs

Taking a day off from skiing? Here’s a list of winter activities to do in Vail and Beaver Creek if you’re staying off the slopes.

Fall is one of the best-kept secrets of Colorado. While the fall season is short, squeezed between the verdant green summer and the fluffy snow-white winter, it’s a show stopper in all its gold shimmery splendor!

What summer vacation to Vail or Beaver Creek is complete without the requisite bike ride? Whether you’re on fat tires or a cruiser, an e-bike or a road bike, taking a 2-wheel summer spin to experience the beauty of the Vail Valley is highly recommended.

Summer in the mountains is so wonderful that our children never want it to end! With the school year beginning online for many families around the country, think of the possibility of extending summertime in the mountains as a potential silver lining:

With over 6000 miles of fishable waters and 2000 lakes, it’s no wonder that Colorado fishing is “off the hook”. Affectionately dubbed “trout heaven here on earth”, regardless of how much you catch, the Rocky Mountain scenery nearly guarantees a great day on the water!

The snow has melted, the skis are stored for the summer, it’s time to get into the swing of things! Golf is always a favorite activity to kick off summer. From big-name designed courses from the likes of Robert Trent Jones and Arnold Palmer to the stunning backdrop of the Gore Range, there’s no better place to hit the links than Vail and Beaver Creek.

You’ve probably hiked your staircase more times than you care to count staying at home this spring, now it’s time to take those uphill climbing muscles out into the wild! The built-in Social Distancing is also part of what makes this so special and fitting for this time.

There’s more than one way to dash through the snow on your Beaver Creek ski vacation. After you’ve tired your legs out on the ski hill, let the sleigh rides of the Vail Valley carry you through the snow for an unforgettable Colorado evening.

If you haven’t guessed by now, skiing is our love language. What could be more romantic than snuggling under blankets of snow amidst the evergreens on a 2-seater chair lift in Steamboat? Or unwinding by the village fireplace after ice skating in Beaver Creek village? Or enjoying fondue for two at an alpine Vail bistro?
