Australian Family Christmas Ski in Vail: Condo Near Chair 6
By Patrick W. Davis, Director of Sales & Marketing
Planning a Christmas and New Year ski holiday in Vail with the family? Manor Vail Lodge welcomes you to condominium residences at Golden Peak, steps from the Riva Bahn Express lift at Chair 6 and a five minute walk to Vail Village. It is a walk-to-lift location rather than ski-in/ski-out, with the space of a condominium residence.
A Family Condo Base Near Chair 6 for a Vail Christmas Ski Holiday
Manor Vail Lodge is a luxury condominium lodge at the base of Golden Peak, where a full kitchen, a gas fireplace and room for the whole family make a long holiday feel like home.
Holiday stays depend on your exact dates. Our reservations team at 800.950.8245 can confirm rates and residence availability, and you can check lift operations, holiday programming, and current travel requirements before you book.
How Golden Peak Access Changes the Family Ski Day
Being steps from the lift can reduce how far you carry equipment at either end of the day.
A Walk-to-Lift Location, Not Ski-In/Ski-Out
Manor Vail Lodge is steps from Riva Bahn Express, but you cannot ski directly to or from the accommodation. Plan to walk from the lodge entrance to the lift base while carrying the equipment you need that morning.
Vail Ski and Snowboard School's Golden Peak campus is a very short walk across the street from the lodge.
Allow extra time when helping younger children dress, adjusting helmets, or getting lift access sorted. Pack small essentials the night before so everyone can leave together.
Ski Valet and Village Time
Complimentary ski valet is available at Chair 6. Ask the front desk how it works.
Vail Village is a five minute walk from the lodge. A complimentary in-town shuttle is also available, and the Town of Vail free in-town bus is nearby. Our front desk team can help with restaurant reservations and current operating hours.
Choose a Residence That Gives Your Family Room to Settle In
Manor Vail Lodge has 90 condominium residences.
Space for Small Families and Larger Groups
The residence choices include studios and one-bedroom condominiums of about 700 square feet. Two- and three-bedroom residences have about 1,400 square feet and three bathrooms. Manor Vail also has two penthouses, 454 and 470.
- Smaller parties: Consider a studio or one-bedroom residence, which sleep up to four people, when a compact layout meets your space and privacy needs.
- Families and multi-generation groups: Review two- or three-bedroom residences, which sleep up to eight people. Our reservations team will gladly walk you through the capacity and layout.
- Penthouse stays: Penthouse 454 offers three bedrooms plus a den, and Penthouse 470 offers four bedrooms plus a loft. Our reservations team at 800.950.8245 can confirm availability, as 470 is seasonal.
Everyday Condo Features
Every residence includes a full kitchen, gas fireplace, private balcony or patio, and private ski locker. The kitchen supports breakfasts, children’s meals, and a Christmas meal on your family’s schedule.
For bedding configurations, especially when children will share existing bedding, our reservations team at 800.950.8245 can walk you through each residence.
On-Site Comforts for a Longer Holiday Stay
After a ski day, your family can enjoy two heated outdoor pools and four heated hot tubs, open year round, and a daily hot breakfast buffet is included for registered guests. Children under 12 stay free when they use existing bedding. Explore our residences.
The Fitz: Elevated Bar + Bites is a relaxed place for families, known for approachable comfort food, creative cocktails and local Colorado drafts, and it lists a kids menu. Ridge + River Mountainside Kitchen will be open for the winter season with its own menu. Our front desk team will gladly confirm days, hours, and reservations for both, including holiday dining.
ADA accessible rooms are available. Call the front desk at 970.476.5000 to talk through your needs.
