This 4K walking tour captures the charm of a snowy day in the European-inspired village, adorned with dazzling Christmas decorations. Stroll through the pedestrian-only streets of this world-renowned "Millionaires' Town" and explore the unique history of how a quiet valley transformed into one of the most prestigious ski destinations on earth. The Visionary History of Vail Unlike historic mining towns, Vail was a purpose-built resort community founded on a vision of creating a world-class American ski destination. Ute Tribal Land: The Gore Creek Valley was originally a summer hunting ground for the Ute Native American tribe, who called the surrounding peaks "the shining mountains". WWII Roots: The area's history is deeply tied to the U.S. Army's 10th Mountain Division, which trained for alpine combat at nearby Camp Hale during World War II. Founded by Veterans: After the war, 10th Mountain veteran Pete Seibert teamed up with local rancher and guide Earl Eaton to develop the mountain they explored in 1957. A European Dream: Inspired by European alpine villages, Seibert meticulously planned Vail with Bavarian-style architecture and pedestrian streets. The resort officially opened on December 15, 1962, with its first gondola and two chairlifts. The town was later incorporated in 1966. Global Recognition: The town gained international exposure in the mid-1970s when President Gerald Ford and his family began vacationing at their Vail home. Join us as we walk through this unique piece of history, where pioneering spirit meets unparalleled luxury and holiday magic!
