Breckenridge USA

Expert Opinion

“After working here for 3 winters, it has to be said Breckenridge is one of my favourite resorts in Colorado! This is because it's kept the traditional mining town look of the old west. Breckenridge is a fantastic family friendly resort with an excellent ski school. There are plenty of great restaurants in town which are really affordable for families. Another plus for Breckenridge it has a big City Market (food supermarket) making this even easier for people staying in condos. It also offers the best base to explore all the other resorts in the area with Vail, Beaver Creek and Keystone within 45 min drive and included on the lift pass”
