“The Top-of-the-Mountain Tours are an exciting addition to Adventure Ridge activities and allow guests an easy alternative to see areas of Vail Mountain in the summer that they may not see otherwise,” said Alex Gentry, general manager of Vail Mountain’s Adventure Ridge. “With up to nine tours per day, guests have the flexibility to see Vail Mountain at their leisure and with plenty of time left in the day for other activities and dining on the mountain and in town.”
Guests should bring a hat, sunscreen, water and a light jacket as weather conditions can change quickly. Top-of-the-Mountain Tour tickets start at just $20 per person and can be purchased in combination with lunch and lift ticket packages. Children must be at least 36 inches tall to participate in the tour. Tours run hourly Sunday through Wednesday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Thursday through Saturday until 7 p.m. for the duration of the 2010 summer season.
