Breckinridge was at the heartbeat of the gold rush during the 19th century. Today, the town retains the same Victorian-era charm with a down-to-earth and friendly atmosphere.

Breck, as it's popularly called by locals, has become one of the most beloved skiing destinations in the country. It's also a popular departure point for many of the best Colorado snowmobile tours.
You can reach Breck with a quick drive from other popular destinations. Vail lies 40 miles northwest, and Denver sits 80 miles northeast.

Winter in Breck is defined by ski sports and by runs on the Tenmile Range. At nighttime, the town boasts of an exciting scene with downtown restaurants and bars throbbing with energy. You can also explore the thriving arts and culture scene or learn some Breckenridge history on tour with a local expert. Popular choices include the Historical Tour, the Haunted Tour, and the Gold Mining Tour.

Summertime opens up hiking trails, biking, fishing, paddling, and rafting. There are also a collection of breweries and a distillery you can explore in the evenings. Whether it is summer or winter, the majesty of a Breckenridge sunset and star-studded night sky is a wonder to behold. And worth coming back to experience year after year.
