Breckenridge, Colorado
Things To Do
Four seasons of mountain adventure at 9,600 feet
Main Street & Downtown
Colorado's longest historic district, packed with restaurants, breweries, boutiques, and galleries.
Historic Main Street
Over 100 restaurants, bars, and shops in perfectly preserved Victorian buildings. Walk the length in an afternoon, stop for lunch, browse galleries, and end with a craft beer.
Craft Breweries
Breckenridge Brewery is a Colorado institution, and the après-ski scene along Main Street remains one of the best in the Rockies.
Arts & Galleries
The Breckenridge Arts District and downtown galleries bring a surprisingly rich arts scene to this mountain town year-round.
Hiking & Backcountry
Summer turns the ski mountain into a high-alpine hiking paradise.
The same terrain that makes Breckenridge a ski destination makes it spectacular in summer. Ride the chairlift partway up or start from town and climb through forests into wildflower-filled bowls.
Quandary Peak is one of Colorado's most accessible 14ers, while Mohawk Lakes and Crystal Lake reward longer hikes with brilliant blue water and granite summits above treeline.
Pack for altitude, fast weather changes, and strong UV. Even on mild days in town, wind and afternoon storms can make the upper mountain feel dramatically different.
