How far is Vail from Denver if you’re driving?

I live in Denver and I’m heading to Vail for the weekend with a few of my best mates. How far is the drive?

A boy’s weekend in Vail sounds like a great time! If you’re not planning to make any stops, you can make the 95-mile drive from Denver to Vail in about 1 hour and 45 minutes.
However, keep in mind that Vail Village itself is car-free, so you’ll have to park your car in a lot at your hotel. There’s an excellent free public transport system that can shuttle you between East and West Vail, Vail Village, and Lionshead.
And because Vail is a big ski town, you’re also likely to hit some traffic on the way there during winter months, so be prepared to tack a bit of extra time onto your drive!
The drive from Denver to Vail is quite possibly one of the most exhilarating and beautiful scenic roads to take in the entirety of the state, but it also happens to be one of the most dangerous. That’s why you’ll want to make sure you have the right car insurance to keep you protected.
