Sure, you may think of the Rocky Mountains as the ultimate winter ski destination, but there’s “snow” way you’ll want to miss out on Breckenridge once you see what happens to this little historic Colorado town after the ice melts.
Breckenridge is a hip mountain town known for its breathtaking views, welcoming locals, laid-back vibes, and the sense of adventure at every turn (it’s no wonder so many visitors end up buying vacation homes here!). With endless outdoor activities, more than 200 restaurants, bars, and shops, and year-round activities and events, Breckenridge is more than just a town — it’s a way of life.
We’ve scouted out the best that the destination has to offer, just in time for you to make plans for summer break in Breck.
DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel – Breckenridge
Location is everything when you stay at the DoubleTree Breckenridge. Not only is the hotel walking distance from all the best eateries and the Arts District, you’ll also wake up to beautiful mountain views and easy access to Breck’s summer hiking trails. And after a long day of play, you’ll definitely want to treat yourself to some rest and relaxation at the pool and outdoor hot tubs overlooking the Rockies or stop by the hotel’s Oxygen Bar to ward off altitude sickness. Oh, and did we mention that the hotel serves s’mores on the deck from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m.? Yum!
Mountaintop Adventures at Epic Discovery’s Alpine Camp
Summer 2018 marks the first full season of Epic Discovery at Breck, a host of summer outdoor activities designed to immerse you in the high alpine environment and experience the destination on a whole ‘nother level — more than 10,000 feet above sea level, in fact. We’re talking zip lines, rock climbing walls, an Alpine Challenge Course built right into nature, wildlife trail exploration, and more. (P.S. Your little ones will love the activities at Peak 8 Basecamp, and you can fuel up at Vista Haus deck with some delicious BBQ faves!)
The Canteen Tap House and Tavern
Modern comfort food, Colorado beer, and world-class wines — what more could you ask from your local Breckenridge tavern? Stop by this North Main Street mainstay for an unbeatable bite and brew. Start with the Raquelitas and Queso Fundido, and don’t skip the Margherita Flatbread!
Breckenridge Distillery
Elevate your spirits by visiting the world’s highest distillery, known for using local and authentic flavors and providing superior service. Enjoy a behind-the-scenes look at the distillery with a complimentary tour and tasting of the Classic Vodka, Gin, and Bourbon.
