Arriving by Air
You can fly into Denver International Airport (DIA) or Eagle County Regional Airport (EGE), and we’ve included information about both below. If you’re planning on renting a car, we recommend flying into DIA because the drive to Vail is beautiful. If you’re not renting a car, you can still fly into Denver and catch a ride with Epic Mountain Express or another ground transportation provider (see Ground Transportation below).
DIA (www.flydenver.com)
Vail is located approximately 100 miles west from Denver and about 2 hours from DIA. All major airlines service the DIA daily.
EGE (www.flyvail.com)
Conveniently located 35 miles west of Vail, two major carriers (United and American) provide service to this airport on a seasonal basis.
