Getting there from Eagle County Regional Airport
Eagle County Regional Airport (EGE) is about 40 minutes west of Vail by car. Denver International Airport (DEN) is about 2 to 2.5 hours away on I-70, and the drive can be slower in winter storms.
Book a private transfer in advance so a driver meets you at arrivals and takes you straight to the hotel. In winter, a driver who knows I-70 and mountain conditions makes the trip easier.
