Scout tips
- The property claims that all condos have mountain views – Scout feels this is a stretch as some see much more of other buildings and only a glimpse of a mountain when standing on the balcony.
- Some of the condos, especially those that face buildings, can feel quite dark.
- All the condos are connected to the main entrance via open corridors.
- This is a family-oriented property.
- There is an on-site guest laundry for convenience.
SCOUT REVIEW
If you want to be close to all the action but don’t have the budget for a ski-in ski-out condo then Montaneros should be on your list. These simple yet spacious condos are a very short walk from the Eagle Bahn Gondola, the Lionshead Village shops and restaurants, and are just a 10-minute shuttle bus ride from Vail Village (with a bus stop out the back door), making them a perfect option for a Vail ski vacation.
The condos themselves (which range in size from 1-4 bedrooms) are spacious and have all the mod-cons you need to make it a home away from home, including a grill/barbecue on the balcony and gas fireplaces. They are all individually owned and therefore furnished to the owner’s style. Some have quite personal touches! Ninety per cent of the condos have sofa beds in the living areas (put in a request if you need one). Due to the large balconies we did find the living spaces to feel a bit dark, however if staying for skiing in winter it’s unlikely to bother you, since you’ll hardly be around during the day. The larger condos have wonderful vaulted ceilings, and open-plan living and kitchen areas for that extra space for families. Most of the condos have a king bed in the master bedroom, and a queen or singles in the other bedrooms, accompanied by a queen sofa sleeper in the living room. The majority of these units have stainless steel kitchen appliances, such as refrigerator, oven and dishwasher. Microwaves, coffee makers, toasters and more are also included in each fully-equipped condo. All have spectacular partial mountain views, which can be requested.
Scout can secure individual units at Montaneros, meaning you know exactly what decor, bedding and views you will get for your Vail ski trip.
There are a ton of other great benefits that come with a stay at Montaneros including free Wi-Fi, ski and boot storage (with boot dryers), a business center, a freshwater pool and two outdoor hot tubs, daily housekeeping and free parking. Guests also have access to the local fitness centre, and there is a conceirge on-site to assist with any extra activities or point you in the right direction for restaurants.
Montaneros is a favourite among families in Vail, and perfect for those wanting to be close to the heart of the action but without the price-tag.
Who should stay here
Montaneros Condos are perfect for family groups who want space and comfort for a reasonable budget.

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.
