SCOUT REVIEW
Christiania is a classically-styled hotel (think European ski lodge) offering cosy and comfortable hotel rooms. Thanks to the wide variety of rooms on offer, Christiania at Vail suits both couples and families alike. The hotel contains a variety of different room types as well as suites. They also manage condos throughout Vail Village, ranging in size from one bedroom through ot five bedroom.
The Christiania hotel rooms are wonderfully styled, with a cosy and intimate Bavarian feel, though for some this may feel a little outdated. Choose from a range of deluxe rooms and suites with a good mix of king and queen beds. The Deluxe rooms face the village whereas the King rooms and Mountain Suites have great mountain views. Each is individually owned, so decor and bedding varies throughout. Some units also feature a hot tub. For those staying in the guest rooms at the hotel, continental breakfast is included and there are a number of restaurants right on your doorstep. The hotel only has 22 hotel rooms, so the atmosphere is more like a European ski lodge rather than an upscale hotel.
Christiania is situated in the heart of Vail with ski-in access. It is only a short walk or push on your skis to Gondola One right out the back door. Once you return to the lodge, store your gear in the heated ski racks so that it is warmed and ready for you the following day. Afterwards, head down to Sarah's Bar & Lounge for some apres drinks by the fireplace with fellow guests, or take a dip in the heated pool (with great mountain views). Family owned for over 40 years, the staff at Christiania are friendly and welcoming and will treat you like friends and family from the moment you arrive. Pets are more than welcome if you can't bare to leave your pooch at home. Although Christiania is not the most modern hotel, the service and charm really make up for it.
Christiania at Vail is a wonderful option particularly for couples and solo travellers, who enjoy a ski-lodge feel to their accommodation and prime access to the slopes each morning. The self-contained condos are ideal for families who seek convenience of being in the heart of Vail Village and close to local restaurants, shops, and resort amenities.

About Vail
If Aspen is Hollywood then Vail is Wall St - popular with the money-never-sleeps-but-it-does-wear-Bogner set. Attracting tens of thousands of visitors a year, it’s quite the place to be seen, and to ski! Luxury is standard at Vail, the pedestrian-friendly village weaves around the buildings and has a wonderful European-style feel to it. The mountain terrain (one of the largest in the world) boasts perfectly groomed corduroy, powder stashes galore, and pristine tree skiing. Team this up with endless accommodation options, easy access from Denver, and one of the best après scenes in North America, it's no surprise Vail is a favourite among local and international ski enthusiasts.

Scout Booking Terms & Conditions
- Availability: Booking of all packages & accommodation is subject to availability at time of confirmation of package option by customer.
- Rate includes: All associated taxes. Some hotels charge extra fees for parking, cots, rollaways etc. Such fees can be confirmed on request based on your requirements.
- Payment Schedule:
- Deposit: 25% of the full amount is due WITHIN 7 DAYS OF CONFIRMATION to secure the booking.
- Final Balance: Invoice will be issued for the remaining balance 80 days prior to departure. PAYMENT IS DUE 70 DAYS PRIOR to departure. Failure to pay by 70 days may result in the auto-cancellation of accommodation by the accommodation provider or late payment fees.
- Bookings within 70 days: Full payment is required within 7 days to secure the booking.
- Variations: In some circumstances suppliers may have different payment policies to the above. Additionally some Early Bird deals require full payment by or soon after the book-by date. In these instances Scout will clearly communicate any variances prior to confirmation.
- Cancellation Policy:
- All deposits are non-refundable once received.
- For balance payments made within 70-45 days prior to the trip the deposit amount is non-refundable.
- No refund for total amount for cancellations 45 days or less prior to arrival and no-shows. In unexpected, unfortunate circumstances (family death etc) Scout will work to negotiate with the supplier for a full or partial refund, however this is not guaranteed. We recommend taking travel insurance to make sure you are covered. Cancelling due to weather, missed travel connections or lack of snow is not considered an unexpected circumstance and is one of the risks you must wear as part of taking a ski trip. Unless the supplier has a snow guarantee or weather cancellation policy, Scout will not refund any part of the package due to these factors.
- Variations: Please note that some hotels may have stricter policies (such as no refund within 60 days) and we are required to pass on these policies. We will communicate any varations to the above cancellation policy prior to confirmation of booking.
- Changes Policy:
- Once bookings are confirmed and deposit is paid service fees will apply for every amendment to existing elements, late final payment and travel document re-issue in addition to fees charged by suppliers
- In a few instances we purchase products through third party providers. If you change part of your package whilst at a destination, the 3rd party provider may have a different refund policy to that of the supplier in the destination. Wherever possible we will work to recover any refunds that come from a change at the destination, however it is not guaranteed.
- Surcharges: Scout does not charge any additional fees for the booking. Prices quoted are for cash (bank transfer) payments only. Credit card payments (Amex, Visa or Mastercard only) will be subject to 1.8% surcharge.
- Booking Currency: Scout will quote and charge in one currency of your choice from AUD, USD, CAD, JPY, EUR or GBP only.
- Currency Exchange Policy: If you book an international destination all remaining balances are subject to change (based on currency fluctuations) until the final payment has been processed. This can go either way (if your currency gets stronger you will be invoiced less!). We will confirm at the time of invoice what the final amount is, based on the exchange rate at that time. Should you wish to pay the balance earlier (prior to when it’s actually due) to secure that current exchange rate you are welcome to request the final invoice at any time. Once payments have been made (deposit or final balance), no refunds will be given for changes in the amount of what that payment would be, based on currency changes at any time prior to your trip.
- Travel Insurance: Once your booking is confirmed, we strongly recommend taking out travel insurance as it will often cover the cost of cancelled reservations.
