Traveler advice

Getting around

Best way to get around is with the free bus system.

To park in the parking structures you can expect to pay $30 during ski season (free in the summer). It is free after 3PM until early morning! There is a bus on 6th that takes you to the Vail transportation center or to Beaver Creek.
