Lionshead Community Profile
When it comes to ski resort living, the adage about 鈥渓ocation, location, location鈥� rings even more true. Located just half a mile west of Vail Village, Lionshead is a charming base village that鈥檚 home to all the amenities you鈥檇 want for a winter retreat.
Lionshead is the hub for the Eagle Bahn gondola, which whisks skiers to the slopes in the winter. Whether you鈥檙e looking for kid-approved adventure zones like Chaos Canyon or grown-up adventure zones like Blue Sky Basin and Game Creek Bowl, the Eagle Bahn is your chariot to the trails. After a full day on the mountain, the colorful boutiques are waiting to catch your eye as tantalizing aromas waft from the variety of restaurants that Lionshead calls home. Grab an apr猫s ski beer on the deck of Garfinkles or raise a glass of bubbly at Tavern on the Square鈥攅very day here is worth celebrating.

From the real estate expert
鈥淲ith the Eagle Bahn Gondola and Born Free Express at the base it鈥檚 twice as fast to get to the top of the mountain in Lionshead. Lionshead real estate tends to be more affordable than Vail Village and offers some of the only true ski-in, ski-out condominiums in the resort. Spa, shopping, caf茅s and fine dining are all just steps away in the European-style ski village.鈥� – Timm Kluender
