BRECKENRIDGE

Born in the mountains in 1859 as a gold mining town during the gold rush, the real gold eventually turned to snow.

The Town

Since the 1800’s the Town of Breckenridge has been a booming gold town in America’s West.  Situated in the valley at the base of the Tenmile Range, Breckenridge has shifted over the years from a town mining valuable gold to a town whose new found gold is the popular winter ski destination of Breckenridge Ski Resort.  With year round recreation ranging from skiing and snowboarding, fly fishing, rafting, hiking, and biking, Breckenridge is one of the most sought after mountain destinations in the country.  In addition to outdoor recreation, it is quickly becoming a destination for the arts, events, and entertainment for the mountains.  

Eating Out and Shopping:

There are over 50 restaurants and shops in Breckenridge and everyone who stops by will find a flavor for their palate.  From fine dining choices like Rootstalk, The Hearthstone, and The Briar Rose to family favorites like Ollie’s, Flipside, and Fiesta Jalisco, there’s a restaurant to fit your wants and needs.  Stroll along the 5 block long Main Street to find an assortment of local shops selling memorabilia of your visit to locally made arts and goods made from Colorado based companies.  

Getting Things Done: 

Oftentimes, people say living in Breckenridge is like living in a bubble.  There isn’t necessarily a need to travel far to obtain the needs of everyday life.  Breckenridge offers everything from groceries, shops, restaurants, auto care, and personal care services all within a 5 mile radius.    

Around Town:

The events are endless throughout the year and attract attention locally around the state as well as internationally around the world.  The International Snow Sculptures hosted in January is a must see event which showcases the best sculptures from various countries.  Ullr Fest, the Lighting of Breckenridge, and multiple beer tasting events help draw locals and visitors to our small town.  We have over 100 miles of hiking and biking trails, many which can be accessed from town.
