Car Service to the Sonnenalp.Right to the Door.

We Know the Way Into Vail Village.

The Sonnenalp sits right in the middle of Vail Village, fronting Meadow Drive at the corner of Vail Road. Its entrance is on Vail Road, directly across from the Vail Interfaith Chapel, a town landmark since 1969, with La Bottega on the corner just across Meadow Drive, and Gore Creek and the Covered Bridge a few steps away. Step out the door and the shops, the galleries, the lifts, and most of the best restaurants in town are all a short walk in every direction. It is a Bavarian-style hotel that opened in Vail in 1979, and it has been owned and run by the Faessler family ever since, now into the fifth generation, with a full spa and a heated pool on site.

The hotel has its own dining too, all under the same roof: Bully Ranch, the Swiss Chalet, King's Club, Ludwig's, and the Treff Café.

It is one of the best-run hotels in Vail, and the reason is the people. The staff are Vail locals who have been there for years, the same bellmen at the door season after season, and a concierge in Victor Rossi who half the town knows by name. We have a soft spot for the place, because it is run the way we run: a family business, the same faces year after year, nobody hiding behind a corporate desk.

For your arrival, what matters is that Vail Village is mostly pedestrian, so the access points are particular. We know them, and we know the Sonnenalp's entrance off Vail Road, so we pull right up to the door instead of circling the village. When we drop a guest there, we know they are in good hands the moment they step inside.

After a long travel day, the last thing you want is a driver who has never found this entrance before.

Both Airports. One Vehicle, Door to Door.

We Wait on You. Not the Other Way Around.

We like to have our ducks in a row. By the time you walk out, the vehicle is already there, warm, and loaded. The minute you are settled and the door closes, the driver buckles in, makes sure everyone is secure and comfortable, and we are moving. You are never sitting in the car waiting on a driver who is still sorting things out. That work is done before you ever open the door.

We track your flight and adjust to delays automatically. No calls, no texts, no rebooking. The minute you land at DIA, we text you simple directions to your vehicle, where it is parked and which Suburban is yours. Grab your bags, walk straight to the car, and we go.

For private arrivals, we meet you planeside at Signature's Vail Valley Jet Center and the NetJets facility at EGE. We help with bags and ski gear, and we have you to the door of the Sonnenalp without fuss. Early morning departures are routine for us. We are there before you are, every time.

Flying Private? We Meet You on the Ramp.

If you are arriving by private jet, we coordinate with the FBO ground crew, pull up to the aircraft, load your bags and gear, and go. No terminal, no lobby wait unless you want one. Send us your tail number and FBO, and we give your flight crew a direct number for the ground.

We track your flight and adjust to early or late arrivals automatically. Customs clearance at Eagle makes EGE the easy choice for guests flying in from Mexico City, Monterrey, and beyond.
