Breckenridge Resort Guide

 

Step back in time to Breckenridge, a fully restored mining town full of heritage and Victorian charm.

Accommodation is slopeside or located at one of the two pedestrian villages. The village has a free Town Trolley running every 20 minutes from 9am to midnight.


 

 

The Trolley serves the Peak 9 base area, downtown and most in-town lodging. A free Summit Stage shuttle also connects Breckenridge with Keystone, the factory outlet stores in Silverthorne and the local bars and restaurants of Frisco and Dillon.

What's New?

Building on the momentum of the last season's Breck Connect Gondola, 150 acres of new terrain and the Imperial Express, Breckenridge is turning its attention to the development of a new terrain park progression system on Peak 8. Breckenridge is designing a multi-level park pod that will feature a beginner park and pipe, an intermediate park as well as the famed expert superpark and pipe on Freeway. The resort has committed to adding a snowmaking system on Peak 8’s Park Lane and to turning the entire 3,500 ft. run into a mid sized, intermediate park.
