Frequently asked questions

What is the elevation of Vail in feet and metres?

Vail is at 2,507 m, or 8,226 ft, above sea level, read at a point within 500 m of its centre whose height is the median of the area. Within 5 km of the centre the ground runs from 2,407 m to 3,492 m.

Is Vail at high altitude?

Yes. At 2,507 m (8,226 ft), Vail is above 2,500 m (8,200 ft), the height from which altitude sickness becomes common for visitors who arrive from low ground in a day.

What is the highest point near Vail?

Within 5 km of the centre, the highest ground is 3,492 m (11,456 ft) at 39.67623, -106.33979. The lowest is 2,407 m (7,895 ft) at 39.62233, -106.42553.

How is the elevation of Vail measured?

From the Copernicus DEM, a 30 m elevation model made from satellite radar between 2011 and 2015. It includes roofs and trees, so the figure is read at the point whose height is the median of 121 points within 500 m of the centre, rather than at one point that may fall on a building.
