Skiing & Location

Christiania Lodge sits at the base of Vail Mountain with Gondola One located right outside the back door, providing ski-to-door access. The lodge offers ski storage and direct access to the mountain for winter sports. Guests walk 5 minutes to Vail Village's shops and dining or 10 minutes to the Ford Amphitheater and Gore Creek walking trails.

Accommodations

The lodge has 22 rooms with Bavarian décor and European furniture, including king rooms, queen rooms, and quadriple units. Some rooms offer mountain-view balconies or kitchenettes, and all include flat-screen cable TV, seating areas, and tea/coffee makers. Privately owned condominium vacation residences are attached, providing a home-like atmosphere for families and groups.

Amenities & Relaxation

The heated outdoor swimming pool is kept at 90 degrees Fahrenheit for year-round use, with a large hot tub and jets for post-ski muscle recovery. A dry sauna is available on-site for relaxation. Complimentary amenities include access to fitness equipment and on-site parking, a $20 per day value compared to nearby garages.

Dining & Social Spaces

Sarah's Lounge operates during ski season for après-ski drinks and community bar events, including Helmut Fricker playing accordion on Fridays. On-site dining is offered by Big Bear Bistro in the lounge during winter (surcharge applies). Guests also have quick access to restaurants across Bridge Street, such as the Big Bear breakfast spot.

Family & Group Offerings

The lodge accommodates families with quadriple rooms and condominium-style suites that include kitchenettes and separate living areas. On-site guides offer unique recreational experiences, and the property features a large lounge area suitable for group games and visits. Regular community events foster a lively atmosphere for all ages.
