For
such a small geographical area, the Town of Vail provides more world class
dining than many mid-sized American cities. Home of famous chefs like Thomas
Salamunovich and Kelly Liken, Vail teems with five star restaurants, casual
gourmet bistros, pizza joints, and everything in between. The restaurants in
Vail cover nearly every culture of cuisine, and for good reason&amp;#8212;Vail attracts
visitors from all around the world.
<br />
<br />
Sweet
Basil Vail is one restaurant that really stands out in the crowd. Voted
Colorado&amp;#8217;s Most Popular Restaurant by the Zagat survey, this modern American
restaurant lies in the heart of Vail Village. The restaurant draws influence
from a variety of cultures and cooking styles. Diners will find delight in the
wine list, which features over 500 fine selections from some of the world&amp;#8217;s
best wineries.
<br />
<br />
For those looking to sample
gourmet organic cuisine, Terra Bistro at Vail Mountain Lodge and Spa will
surely impress. The menus feature recipes that utilize 85% to 100% certified
organic ingredients. And if its views you&amp;#8217;re after, try the patio at Bistro
Fourteen at the top of the Lionshead gondola, which offers prime views of Holy Cross. The Tavern on the Gore is a new, casual restaurant in Vail Village with a lot of TVs, but not too loud.]]></description><link>http://www.vailinternational.com/blog/dining/enjoy-the-best-dining-in-vail.aspx</link><comments>http://www.vailinternational.com/blog/dining/enjoy-the-best-dining-in-vail.aspx#comments</comments><pubDate>Wed, 7 Nov 2012 00:21:57 +0200</pubDate><dc:creator> BEST WESTERN PLUS Inn On The Park Hotel - Madison </dc:creator><category>dining</category></item><item><title>Activities in Vail Village and Beyond</title><description><![CDATA[<img src=&Quot;%%strpath%%resourcefiles/blogsmallimages/activities-in-vail-village-and-beyond.jpg&Quot; alt=&Quot;Activities in Vail Village and Beyond&Quot; class=&Quot;imgright&Quot; height=&Quot;115&Quot; width=&Quot;182&Quot; />
When
visitors make their inaugural trip through Vail Village, they stand in awe at
the beauty of the forests, the friendly spirit of the locals, and of course,
the breathtaking views of the mountains. Vail Mountain is known for top-notch
skiing, snow boarding, and recreational activities.
<br />
<br />
Vail
happens to be home to the finest ski and snowboard school in the world. Each
instructor is dedicated to developing each skier at his or her desire pace. For
those who seek a smoother ride with little to no effort, Vail tubing may be the
way to go. Adventure Ridge at Vail provides ski bikes, snowmobile tracks, and a
slippery slope filled with tubing lanes.
<br />
<br />
Home
to 5,289 acres of diverse and sprawling slopes, Vail remains the biggest resort
in the U.S. Blessed with rich powder and breathtaking views, the area receives
around 300 days of sunshine a year. Vail Mountain can be reached by three base
areas, including Vail Village, Lionshead, and Golden Park.
<br />
<br />
After
a day of skiing, you can relax and enjoy a microbrew, sprawl out on a massage
table at an area spa, or enjoy the many boutique shops, art galleries, and bars
that line the streets of Vail Village.
