ACTIVITIES

There will be time in the afternoons to explore beautiful Vail and the surrounding area.

Grand Hyatt Vail provides a daily looping shuttle service between the hotel, Vail Village, and Lionshead. The shuttle operates from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily. Text 970-373-2973, or click here to track the shuttle: Track My Shuttle | Grand Hyatt Vail.

We recommend strolling the Gore Valley Trail, or if you’d like a more challenging hike, visit the Vail Visitor’s Center for some ideas.

For more adventure, Venture Sports is an on-site partner at the Grand Hyatt Vail for mountain gear and bike rentals. Enjoy guided or unguided bike tours with breathtaking views along the Gore Creek bike path leading into Lionshead and Vail Villages.

After your adventuring (or instead of!), relax at the outdoor infinity pool and hot tubs, or step up the experience with a visit to the The Spa at Grand Hyatt Vail (20% off spa services if you mention being a part of the Acts 29 group) on property.
