Breckenridge, Copper Mountain, Keystone, Arapahoe Basin, Vail and Beaver Creek are all within a hour drive of Summit County. Rent some gear, grab a ticket, and go enjoy a slushy spring afternoon of skier. You can even plan to take a lesson or follow around a local for the day to find the hidden gems.
2 - Nordic Skiing & Snowshoeing
Hiking may seem like a summer activity, but add some snowshoes! Maybe you want to try something new, then grab some cross country skis. All the major ski areas have a Nordic Center, if not two, Nordic ski operations for cross country skiing and snowshoeing on fairly flat trails. Whether you’re in skis or snowshoes -go out and explore all the beautiful terrain Breckenridge offers. You can either hop on a guided tour to learn more about the history behind our mountain town, or rent your own gear to take it at the pace you want.
3 - Tubing
Look up tubing at the Frisco Adventure Center, or enjoy one of the free sledding hills in town.
4 - Mushing
Hop on a sled and let the huskies do the hard work for you. Good Times Adventures offers dog sledding tours where you can be the leader of the pack and “mush” the pups, or sit back and relax in the sleigh. We'll get you dialed in on what all your dog sledding adventure wedding or elopement will entail. But, you can wear one of those furry hats if you like.

Whether you’re looking for a quick bite, or some finer dining for your elopement dinner, Breckenridge has it all. Take a stroll around town after to check out some local Brews in the area. When it comes to beer and spirits, the made-in-Breckenridge trend began in the ‘90s with the original Breckenridge Brewery.

There is so much to do as you stroll downtown Breckenridge. Unique shops, local cafés, the historic district, the arts district, family friendly activities like Escape Rooms, and more!
