Vail - There's no comparison
Summer

Welcome to the Vail Summer Media Center!

We’ve designed this site to be your resource for the latest events, activities, packages and vacation experiences in Vail during the spring, summer and fall. We’ve made some enhancements to the media center to help you fact check stories, find new story angles and download the best images of the destination. One addition to the site is the Story Ideas Blog where we invite you set up an RSS feed to receive timely, relevant, weekly posts.

As you explore the site you’ll see that this summer we continue to celebrate Vail’s Renewal as the six-year, $2 billion project marks additional milestones with the opening of the Four Seasons Resort Vail, The Sebastian, Solaris Residences and The Ritz-Carlton Residences. Visitors to Vail also will find an exciting line-up of fitness and wellness programs, outdoor adventures, as well as art, music and dance performances and festivals designed to entertain and engage travelers’ various pursuits.

Whatever your passion, we hope you’ll experience our quaint mountain community for yourself! We recognize that there’s no better way to write about a destination then to explore, play and enjoy your surroundings. We encourage you to contact us directly to inquire about media hosting policies.

We hope to see you this summer so you too can experience Vail – Like Nothing on Earth!
