The Top of the Rockies Tour is our premier Vail snowmobile adventure, designed for riders who want to explore Colorado’s backcountry at its highest elevations. Departing from the National Historic Site at historic Camp Hale, this flagship experience immerses guests in sweeping views of four mountain ranges and some of the state’s tallest 14,000-foot summits. Riders climb to over 12,500 feet, traveling along the highest groomed snowmobile trail network in Colorado.
As our most popular Vail snowmobiling tour, the Top of the Rockies Tour is ideal for beginner and intermediate riders seeking a true backcountry experience deep in the heart of Colorado’s Rocky Mountains. Offered as a Full Day or Half Day Snowmobile Tour, this experience provides plenty of time on trail for guests who want to truly immerse themselves in the backcountry of Vail, Avon, and Beaver Creek, Colorado.
The Ultimate Vail Snowmobile Tour Experience
The Top of the Rockies Tour combines breathtaking scenery with accessible terrain, making it an exceptional choice for riders of all ability levels. You’ll explore wide-open alpine meadows, powder-filled bowls, and forested paths with a professional guide leading the way. The combination of terrain variety and jaw-dropping Rocky Mountain scenery makes this one of the most sought-after snowmobile tours in the Vail and Beaver Creek area.
Camp Hale, the historic departure point for this tour, served as the training ground for the US Army’s 10th Mountain Division during World War II. Today it provides a stunning and historically significant setting for Colorado’s highest guided snowmobile experience. Knowledgeable guides share stories about the area’s rich history and unique alpine ecosystem throughout the ride, adding depth and meaning to an already unforgettable adventure.
