Black Diamond Cars provides private car service from Denver Airport to Bachelor Gulch — door-to-door to The Ritz-Carlton lobby or your private residence inside the gated community. Roughly 2 to 2.5 hours from DIA, or just 25 minutes from Eagle Airport.
Bachelor Gulch sits between Beaver Creek and Arrowhead on Beaver Creek Mountain, above Avon. It is a genuinely exclusive corner of the valley — and a gated one, which is where most transport arrangements come unstuck.
Gate access is handled before you land. Bachelor Gulch requires pre-authorisation at the security gate. We arrange it in advance with your address, so your vehicle drives straight through — nobody stands at a checkpoint with luggage in the cold.

The drive from DIA to Bachelor Gulch runs about 135 miles on I-70 West, past Vail and off at the Avon exit, then up the mountain road into the community — two to two and a half hours in normal conditions.
Your chauffeur meets you inside the terminal at baggage claim with a name sign, handles the luggage and ski bags, and drives through without stops. For Ritz-Carlton guests we coordinate the arrival with the concierge, so bell staff are expecting you when the vehicle pulls up.
Eagle County Regional Airport is only about 25 miles away — roughly 25 minutes — which makes it the easiest commercial option for Bachelor Gulch, with seasonal direct flights from major hubs. Arriving by private jet, we meet you on the ramp at the Vail Valley Jet Center and handle luggage straight from the aircraft.
We drive to the door anywhere inside Bachelor Gulch and the surrounding Beaver Creek resort area:
Departing, we collect you at the Ritz-Carlton entrance or your residence and get you to DIA with comfortable margin — typically leaving about 3.5 hours before a winter departure. Dispatch checks I-70 conditions the night before and moves the pickup earlier if the corridor looks slow. To Eagle Airport, plan on around an hour door to gate.
Best known for ski-in ski-out access to Beaver Creek Mountain, the village keeps its appeal through the summer: hiking and biking trails run straight from the resort, and the valley below fills the calendar with concerts, comedy and food events. Whatever the season, we can arrange rides to dinner, to a trailhead or across to Vail — see local transportation.
