The High Life

At 8,150 feet (2,475 metres) above sea level, and another 3,450 feet (1,052 metres) up to the top of the Colorado Rocky Mountains, first-time visitors to Vail sometimes feel the effects of thinner air and colder temperatures. Staying hydrated is a must, and that’s why Four Seasons Resort and Residences Vail provides refreshments at its Ski Concierge facility, and plenty of liquids throughout the Resort. Specially-designed spa treatments at the Five Star Spa, such as the High Altitude Adjustment Massage which focuses on skin hydration, as well as soothing stressed muscles. The year-round heated pool is treated with saline rather than harsh chemicals – better for both the skin and the environment.
