In town

The town below the slopes

Downtown Breck is small enough to walk across in fifteen minutes. Main Street runs north to south through the middle, with the Blue River and the Riverwalk just to the west and the old residential streets climbing the hill to the east.

It's one of the largest historic districts in Colorado, so most of what you'll walk past is more than a century old.

Quick tip

Ski & snowboard rental

Book online before you arrive and pick your gear up in town the evening before. The morning rush at the base shops can eat your first hour, and booking ahead can be cheaper.

Quick tip

Lift tickets & the Epic Pass

Breck is on the Epic Pass. Buying a ticket at the window on the day is the most expensive way up the hill, so buy ahead online or look at an Epic Day Pass if you're here for a few days.
