Looking for a quick getaway to a European mountain village? You can experience that without ever leaving the state. Just head to Vail. Stroll along the cobblestone streets of Vail Village, cross timbered bridges, view Bavarian-styled buildings and dine on Raclette and fondue for a taste of old-world ambiance reminiscent of the alpine villages of Germany, Austria, Italy and Switzerland.
The world-renowned ski resort wasn’t even a blip on the map in 1957 when Siebert climbed to the top of what is now Vail Mountain . He looked over the expansive back side into the wilderness and knew his search was over. You can imagine his enthusiasm as that vantage point revealed what are now known as the seven “legendary back bowls of Vail.”
Ski instructors lured from Europe were among the first residents of Vail when it opened in 1962. Renowned Austrian ski racer Pepi Gramshammer and his wife, Sheika, who descended from a family of Austrian innkeepers, built one of the first alpine-inspired lodges and restaurants in 1964. They named it Gasthof Gramshammer, which translates from Austrian to “a house for guests.”
