The Vail Valley is unusually well set up for travelers who need step-free, adaptive options without sacrificing polish.
Design This TripHeated gondolas at Vail Village and Lionshead offer smooth, lift-served access to mountain-top dining and viewpoints with no hiking required, and the resorts' adaptive ski programs pair trained instructors with specialized equipment.
