Getting to Avon / Beaver Creek

We recommend flying into Denver International Airport (DEN) or Eagle County Regional Airport (EGE). Avon is about a 2.5 hour drive from Denver* and about a 20 minutes drive from Eagle County Regional Airport.*i-70 can be very unpredictable in terms of traffic, construction, and weather so please buffer in a handful of hours for the drive.

Getting Around Avon / Beaver Creek

Ride share apps such as Uber &amp; Lyft are extremely limited and unreliable in the Avon and Beaver Creek area. However, it is still easy to get around! For guests staying at the Westin Riverfront, there is a shuttle available to guests upon request which can take you to the local restaurants and nearby village. Please coordinate this with the front desk. There are also several dining options within walking distance to the hotel. If you are staying within the Beaver Creek Village, you will be walking distance to most shops and restaurants.

DO WE NEED A RENTAL CAR?

A rental car is optional if you are staying in Beaver Creek as most things are within walking distance and there are complimentary shuttles available on demand. You must download the&nbsp;<a href="https://apps.apple.com/us/app/village-connect/id1357326540" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">"Village Connect" app</a>&nbsp;to book a ride. However, if you would like to drive to and from the airport or do sightseeing outside the village, a car is recommended. Ubers and Lyfts are extremely limited in the area. Keep in mind if you choose to get a rental car, parking fees typically apply at the hotels. Day parking at the Beaver Creek resort is free, but there is a charge for overnight parking.

Adjusting to altitude

Beaver Creek sits at about 8,000 feet above sea level. Altitude may or may not affect you, but hydration is incredibly important. If you are having trouble getting acclimated, you can buy oxygen cans around the area and many of the hotel spas will have oxygen bars. We will also be providing oxygen cans for our guests upon arrival to the area to help you acclimate.

WHAT WILL THE WEATHER BE LIKE in September?

The weather is typically sunny with clear skies! Expect warm days (temperatures range from the 70s up to the 80s) and cooler nights (temperatures will usually be in the 50s). When visiting the mountains, it is recommended to dress in layers as the weather can change quickly, especially in the afternoon. We recommend bringing your hiking shoes and taking advantage of the beautiful fall colors that will be on display this time of year.

Are children welcome at the wedding?

While we love children, we will be having an adults only wedding. Nanny services can be coordinated for those who need it. Please reach out to us if you'd like to book.

Explore Vail Village 

Vail Village is a beautiful pedestrian village with tons of amazing shops and dining options. Vail is a short 10 minute drive from Beaver Creek. There is a bowling alley (Bol), late night bars, Gondola, and a Sunday Farmer's Market and Art Show. We highly recommend driving to see Vail if you have an extra day or rental car.

Hiking

September is the perfect time for hiking in Beaver Creek and to see the golden aspen trees. The gondola runs during the weekend in Beaver Creek Village in the fall. This is a great way to check out the mountain views. Booth Falls is highly recommended as well for those looking to adventure outside the resort.
