Beaver Creek

Beaver Creek, USA

Beaver Creek is an elegant and secluded resort located in Colorado's Vail Valley - just a 10-15 minute (approx.) drive from world-famous Vail. Developed in the 1980s, the village exudes European charm, rather than the wild west feel of other North American resorts. With its traffic-free village centre and 1,832 acres of blissfully quiet slopes, smart boutiques, log cabin restaurants and heated walkways to the ski lifts, Beaver Creek is a haven of peace and luxury.

Après-ski In Beaver Creek

Life off the slopes in Beaver Creek is just as varied and exciting as the mountain. As well offering a variety of boutiques, galleries, cafes and bars, at the village centre lies an incredible open-air ice rink surrounded by heated walkways. And its best kept secret: The Vilar Performing Arts Centre - a 500-seat amphitheatre below the ice which hosts symphonies, ballet, film, broadway musicals and comedy. As if that wasn’t enough, non-skiers can also enjoy a hot-air balloon ride over the mountains; and there is a regular bus service that runs between Beaver Creek and Vail for those who wish to venture out of resort. Although mountain restaurants in the Beaver Creek ski area are limited in choice, eating out in resort is a different story. You can take a sleigh ride to one of the beautiful log cabins open for dining – Beano’s, Allie’s or Zach’s. Alternatively, Saddleridge is luxurious with a wild west feel. Fresh from the slopes and in need of a beer, Dusty Boot Saloon and Coyote Café are good après-ski bars. For late night partying head to the Park Hyatt and the Whiskey Elk Bar.
