Situated just eight miles west of Vail in the Eagle River Valley, Avon is known as the gateway to the expansive Beaver Creek Resort. Avon exudes a small mountain town atmosphere with access to a wide variety of amenities, including plenty of special events, parks, trails, and recreational activities as well as local and national shops and restaurants.
Outdoor recreation is extremely popular in Avon, being the preferred way to enjoy the many gorgeous natural amenities. Residents and visitors have the option to go kayaking on the Eagle River, hiking in the White River National Forest, skiing at nearby Vail or Beaver Creek, and snowshoeing on various Nordic tracks throughout the valley. Convenience to I-70 and U.S. 6 makes getting around from Avon simple.
