Things to Do in Breckenridge, Colorado
Breckenridge is known as a world-class ski and snowboard destination, and for good reason – Breckenridge Ski Resort spans four peaks and more than 2,300 acres that include five terrain parks, two half-pipes, eight bowls and the highest chairlift in North America. Beyond the runs? Signature winter parties, indie shopping, an award-winning arts district and locally-made libations await. After all, Breck delivers on diversity.
Prospectors discovered gold when they founded this mountain town in 1859. Today, Breck is a quaint mountain town tucked away in the Ten Mile Range. The 154-year-old Victorian town includes one of the state’s largest National Historic Districts with 249 Historic District structures.
