SKJÓL Location — Between Vail and Beaver Creek

SKJÓL sits in the Village at Avon, the town at the foot of Beaver Creek and roughly midway along the Vail Valley. The advantage is less about any one place and more about how much of the valley is within easy reach, in every season.

Why Avon — the lifestyle advantage

Beaver Creek is Avon's own mountain

Beaver Creek's access road begins in Avon, and the Riverfront Express Gondola climbs from Avon to the mountain. Owners here live at the resort's front door rather than visiting it.

Vail is up the same valley

Vail Village is about 10 miles east on I-70 by the developer's map. With the planned SKJÓL shuttle serving both resorts, the choice between them can be made each morning.

A real town, open all year

Avon has grocery stores, restaurants, a recreation center, Nottingham Park and a transit hub, and people live here year round. The Village at Avon, where SKJÓL sits, is planned to add a 26,000 SF Whole Foods and about 50,000 SF of shops and restaurants, with deliveries expected to begin in fall 2027 according to the developer.

Mid-valley, close to the airport

Avon sits roughly in the middle of the Vail Valley on I-70. Eagle County Regional Airport is about 25 miles west by the developer's map, and Denver International is the year-round alternative.

Every season in Avon

Winter

Ski or ride Beaver Creek and Vail, with 7,399 skiable acres between them. Nordic skiing and snowshoeing at Beaver Creek's McCoy Park and around the valley, skating on Nottingham Lake, and the holiday and race events both resorts host each season.

Year round

Avon is not a ski-season town that empties in May. Restaurants, groceries, the recreation center and the trail system stay open, and the shoulder seasons are when many owners say the valley is at its best.

The Village at Avon

SKJÓL is part of a 40-acre master-planned neighborhood. The developer plans a 26,000 SF Whole Foods and about 50,000 SF of ground-floor shops and restaurants, with deliveries expected to begin in fall 2027.
