Around Town

Breckenridge is a year-round resort destination located high in the Colorado Rockies, 90 miles west of Denver. This 151-year old Victorian town was founded like many other towns of the era--with a Gold Rush. We've come a long way since then, while still keeping many Historic buildings and touches. With plenty of shopping and dining as well as events and activities, there is something for everyone! For more on events and activities.

This year check out the new EpicMix Tracking System. Track your location, time on the hill, vertical, number of runs and more using RFID Technology from Vail Resorts!
