Town
There's one thing that stands out about Breckenridge. It's a town. A real town. With real locals and real characters—from ski bums to history buffs, and from skier moms to tech entrepreneurs. But we all have one thing in common ... we love Breck.
Stroll down Breck’s main street and you might find yourself browsing through locally-owned shops, strolling art installations, discovering epic views or simply breathing the crisp mountain air as musicians play nearby. Our town displays it’s vibrant personality year round.
Breck is "one of the most charming mountain towns in the world with great skiing, a solid round of après options and vibrant nightlife." – Powder Magazine

What started as a gold-rush base camp in the 1850s is now a bustling town that mixes western hospitality with Victorian architecture. It is now a modern-day hot spot for summer and winter adventures.
