Vail is an easily walkable town, and a rental car is not necessary for the wedding weekend. Guests staying at the Hythe, in Lionshead, or in Vail Village can conveniently get around on foot or via Vail’s efficient and reliable bus service.
Transportation will be provided to guests on the wedding day from Vail to Camp Hale.
You can fly into Denver International Airport (DIA) or Eagle County Regional Airport (EGE), and we’ve included information about both below.
See "Ground Transportation To/From DIA and EGE" below for details on ground transport from airports such as Epic Mountain Express (our recommended option), car rentals, and other ground transportation providers.
Vail is located approximately 100 miles west from Denver and about 2 hours from DIA. All major airlines service the DIA daily, including:
United Airlines www.united.com
American Airlines www.aa.com
Delta Airlines www.delta.com
Southwest Airlines www.southwest.com
Frontier Airlines www.frontierairlines.com
Driving Directions from DIA to Vail
Exit the airport on Pena Blvd.
Merge onto I-70 West via the exit on the left.
Continue on I-70 West until you reach Exit 176 – Vail. You have arrived! Between 1.5 to 2 hours to drive.
Conveniently located 35 miles west of Vail, two major carriers provide service to this airport on a seasonal basis:
United Airlines www.united.com
American Airlines www.aa.com
Driving Directions from EGE to Vail
Exit the airport, taking a left on Cooley Mesa Road.
Turn right onto Highway 6 eastbound, and follow it about five miles straight through one roundabout.
At the second roundabout, take your third right (heading north).
Take I-70 East for approximately 30 miles, until you reach Exit 176. You are in Vail! This is the closest airport to Vail.
Epic Mountain Express (EME) provides transportation directly to your hotel in Vail from the Denver International Airport. This is our recommended option for those not renting a car while visiting Colorado. For shuttle reservations and information, use the link www.epicmountainexpress.com/group_redirect?code=GEMINI to get 15% off transportation. You may also call 970.754.7433 and let them know you are a client of Isabelle Kline Design for a Vail Wedding. This is a shared 12-14 person shuttle
If wanting a private SUV or Shuttle, we highly recommend SnowFlake Transportation
High Mountain Taxi And Ride Taxi Provides service between EGE and Vail. We do not recommend trying to take a taxi from DIA! This is best within the Vail Valley/Eagle County.
High Mountain Taxi - 800.524.5555
Ride Taxi - 970.949.1111
Car Rentals: All major car rental companies are represented at DIA. Many car rental companies are represented at EGE as well.
We do not recommend relying on Uber or Lyft, as rideshare services are limited in Vail and tend to be more expensive.
We’re delighted to have a room block at The Hythe in Vail for our wedding weekend and encourage guests who would like to stay with us to reserve their accommodations as soon as possible.
