This former gold mining town is popular for good reason. With an authentic vibe and sunny weather, the high altitude makes it snow sure well into April. Part of the Epic Pass, you can ski up to five resorts in total, using Breckenridge as a base.

Divided into five linked ‘Peaks’, the ski area is genuinely good for all abilities. There are wide runs for beginners and cruisey blues for intermediates, while the black runs on Peak 10 descend through challenging bowls and glades. With an excellent ski school, Breckenridge ski holidays are also great for families.

The historic town is full of character, with clapboard houses and welcoming locals. Non-skiers have more than 180 shops to peruse, as well as outlet shopping in nearby Silverthorne. Evenings are lively, with more than 80 restaurants and bars around busy Main Street, while the après activities include snowmobiling, ice sculpting and mine tours.

"A favourite Colorado resort for British skiers, Breckenridge has great terrain for all abilities and is the best base to explore all five Epic Pass resorts."

Customer Reviews

What our customers say about Breckenridge.

Great snow conditions and pistes well cared for. Despite little snow for the first part of our holiday, it did not affect our enjoyment. When it did snow, it was really fun. Free shuttle buses run so frequently, there was never a long wait to get to the mountain bases. Vibrant town with many bars, restaurants and shops. Eating out getting more expensive though.

Breckenridge is great for families, plenty of slopes to choose from to suit everyone. The town is full of shops and restaurants and at Christmas the lights and decorations make it really special.

Great town to stay in, excellent skiing for all levels of skiing from our 10 year old on lower slope greens and blues to those capable of double black diamonds, something for everyone. Town has loads of choice of restaurants, good supermarkets and shops to browse in the evenings.

Looked great but unfortunately we got kicked out after 48 hours due to Covid 19. Nice town with great bars and restaurants. I only managed half a days skiing before it closed but it looked great!

Breckenridge was excellent with 6 peaks of good snow and skiing for all abilities. The Quicksilver lift was only 5 minutes walk from our hotel and gave us access to the entire system. The ski area is big and plenty of room for everybody with no big lift queues. The second week of our stay was Spring Break and even then it was not too crowded. Maggie's Bar at the bottom of the Quicksilver lift …
