Brackenridge Colorado Travel Packages
Established during the rowdy mining days of the 1860s, Breckenridge has since matured into a vibrant mountain resort. Thanks to the Ten Mile Mountain Range’s great skiing and riding, the town’s historical charm at Brackenridge CO and a lively local community, guests keep falling in love with Breckenridge Colorado – with many coming back year after year to rekindle the old flame. Contact ResortQuest at 970-453-4000 to book your next CO vacation.
The Breckenridge resort is blessed with more than 300 days of sunshine and an average of more than 300 inches of snowfall annually. It’s blessed, too, by the diligence of its citizens. They have protected downtown’s signature Victorian quaintness, and that architecture and ambiance are an intrinsic part of Breckenridge’s appeal. The myriad of boutiques, restaurants and pubs offer entertainment long after the skis come off.
Breckenridge Mountain is a series of four interconnected peaks that provide over 2,400 acres of slopes, four world-class terrain parks and four new half-pipes, perfect for any level of skier or rider. Breckenridge was name the 7th Overall Best Resort by Ski Magazine in 2006. To top it off, winter brings unlimited opportunities at Breckenridge Colorado for other types of adventures as well, including snowshoeing, snowmobiling, romantic dinner sleigh rides, dog sledding and ice-fishing.
In the summer time, Breckenridge Resort Mountain in Colorado transforms into an altogether different but equally wondrous place.
