Being so close to Beaver Creek Ski Resort as well as Vail, Avon is the obvious home base for winter activities such as skiing, snowboarding, snowmobiling and snowshoeing. Come summer however, the fun doesn't stop. In fact, the fun begins, for those who know what a gem this town is. Summer art festivals, wine tasting, hiking, biking, fly fishing and incredible scenery are a taste of what you'll find in Avon.
