Getting to Know the Vail Valley: Bachelor Gulch

Nestled between Beaver Creek and Arrowhead, the secluded Bachelor Gulch village is the middle point of Beaver Creek Mountain’s Village-to-Village skiing.  Surrounded by 1,400 acres of open space and ski terrain, the master plan of the community creates ultimate privacy and views with minimal impact on the natural environment.  This is where you’ll find the peace and serenity of the mountains that made you come to Colorado.  The best part is that you’re still within close proximity to all amenities offered by the luxurious resorts nearby, including gondola and chairlift access to take you down to Avon and the Westin Resort and Spa.

The impressive Ritz-Carlton became the new anchor to the Bachelor Gulch community, and quickly won over us locals with its sunny patio; the perfect place for a mid-ski drink.  While most of us can’t afford frequent dinners at the delicious but pricey Spago, we love to treat ourselves to a life of luxury with a glass of wine and apps.

A series of skier bridges and tunnels throughout the community allow a majority of the single family homes, mountain lodges, condos and home sites to have ski in ski out access.  Restricted commercial development within this ultra-exclusive community creates a private and intimate setting with amazing panoramic views of the Gore Range and valley floor.
