Flying to the Vail Valley, CO

Many Vail Valley travelers arrive via I-70 from Denver, but those in the know can avoid unexpected road closures and congestion by flying direct. With the Eagle Valley Regional Airport being less than 40 miles to the resorts, you can literally step off the plane and into your ski or hiking boots shortly after landing.
