We Know This Entrance.
The Lion sits on the west end of Lionshead, on West Lionshead Circle, with the Eagle Bahn Gondola, the shops, and the pedestrian village a short walk away. It is one of the newer luxury properties in Lionshead, a quieter setting that is still close to the lifts and ski school.
One of our favorite touches at The Lion is the custom stretched golf cart. The staff uses it to run guests and ski gear between the hotel and the Lionshead drop-off between The Arrabelle and The Lodge at Lionshead. It is about as close to clicking into your skis as you can get without staying ski-in, ski-out.
We know where to pull in and where the door is, and how to unload a family and its gear without blocking the village road.
Local Drivers Matter in Vail.
Winter driving in the Colorado mountains is its own thing. Snow on Vail Pass, traffic on I-70, and icy mornings in Lionshead are all part of the job.
We are based in the Vail Valley, and our drivers are on these roads all winter. That local experience matters when your family and your gear are in the car. A storm on Vail Pass is a problem we solve, not one we hand to you.
Both Airports. One Vehicle, Door to Door.
Private SUV and Sprinter transportation between The Lion and the airports that serve the valley, plus transfers from Beaver Creek, Aspen, and the other mountain towns.
Denver International (DIA). 120 miles from Vail, about two hours. This is most of our airport work.
Eagle County (EGE). About thirty minutes from Lionshead, with seasonal direct flights from major East Coast and Midwest cities.
We also meet private aviation at the Vail Valley Jet Center and run local trips around Vail and Lionshead. Every trip is private. We do not run shared shuttles. The vehicle you book is yours from pickup to drop-off.
Chevrolet Suburban
One to six passengers with luggage and ski gear. The right vehicle for a family arriving at The Lion.
Mercedes Sprinter
Seven to fourteen passengers. Wedding and group shuttles, family reunions, ski clubs, and corporate parties.
All-Inclusive Flat Rates.
The price you see is the price you pay. Gratuity, fuel, fees, and taxes are included. No surprises at the end of the trip. Beaver Creek, Aspen, and hourly charters quoted on request. Holiday and high-season pricing may apply.
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 Lion 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.
Eagle County (EGE)
Signature's Vail Valley Jet Center and the NetJets facility. About 40 minutes to Vail. The closest jet airport, with on-site U.S. Customs for international arrivals.
Rifle (RIL)
Atlantic Aviation. About two hours to Vail. The field that stays open when weather closes the mountain airports, and the smart backup when Eagle or Aspen go down.
Denver Centennial (APA)
Signature, Modern Aviation, and Denver jetCenter, on the south side of Denver and clear of the DIA terminals. About two and a half hours to Vail.
Aspen (ASE) and Denver (DEN)
Atlantic Aviation at Aspen, plus the private terminals at Denver International. Wherever you land in the region, tell us and we will be there.
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.
