Located in the stunning Rocky Mountains of Colorado — along the scenic Eagle River — Wyndham Resort at Avon is the ideal location to take advantage of this world-class ski area, and is only eight miles west of Vail. Whichever way you turn and whatever thrills you seek - adventure awaits. During summer discover everything from guided nature walks to heart pounding competitions to fabulous festivals. Ride on the Strawberry Park Express and bring a picnic to Beaver Lake. Hike a “Fourteener” to stand atop one of the mountain peaks above 14,000 feet. Float down a river, learn how to fly fish, enjoy a soaring zip line experience in the mountains or watch top athletes compete in summer races. Snow-oriented activities take over the rest of the year. Snowmobiling, ice skating, skiing, snowshoeing and sleigh rides are just a few of your options.
