Make your vacation complete with a visit to Breckenridge attractions

There's a lot more to the Breckenridge area than skiing. Breckenridge attractions offer a myriad of things to see and do, whether you're looking to fill an hour or a day. With choices as varied as museums, theaters, and historical sites, you'll never have a dull moment during your visit to Breckenridge. So let us show you some of our favorite places to play.

Nordic Sleigh Rides
Welcome to Nordic Sleigh Rides, a truly unique Breckenridge experience. Your evening begins with a sleigh ride on custom-built Santa sleighs pulled by huge Belgian draft horses wearing antique brass sleigh bells. Under crisp Colorado skies, the horses deliver your sleigh to a recreation of an 1860's miner's camp. You'll feel as though you've gone back in time 140 years to Breckenridge's early mining days! As your sleigh is arriving at the camp you will be greeted by the sounds of "rag-time" being played on a piano made in 1895. For your meal, we serve great steaks, barbecue chicken or baked salmon dinners complete with hot apple pie for dessert. Much of your meal will be prepared on an antique wood cook stove that actually came out a mining camp in 1865.

Gold Run Nordic Center
Imagine the Colorado sun on your face as you hit your stride on a crisp winter morning with the Ten Mile Range, Baldy, and Guyot providing the magnificent panaromic backdrop. And after the exhilarating workout, imagine relaxing in the Gold Run day lodge where overstuffed leather chairs and couches, a roaring fire and delicious soup bar await you. You'll call it a great place to relax after a great workout.

Phoenix Gold Mine
The Phoenix Gold Mine is a great place for field trips, vacation stops or just to spend the day for locals. Only 18 miles from Hwy 40 and I-70 to Idaho Springs, it is an easy trip up from the Denver Metro Area. Your Tour includes instruction on Gold Panning as well as the use of our gold pans and stream. With the picnic grounds and bbq pits (fire restrictions do apply) it is a great place to spend the day in the beautiful Alps Mountain area on Trail Creek. So take your friends, family or groups back 100 years and be a Prospector for the day!

Alpine Snowmobile Rentals
Experience fresh powder while exploring the many miles of groomed trails on new Polaris 550 snowmobiles or mush a team of Alaskan Huskies while you take in the awe-inspiring scenery and wildlife.

Colorado Rocky Ballooning
Make your dream a reality with a hot air balloon ride in the magnificent Colorado Rockies. Colorado Rocky Ballooning serves the Colorado resort areas of Breckenridge, Keystone, Copper Mountain and Vail. Experience the highest altitude hot air ballooning in the country with all flights launching above 9,600 feet MSL. Your balloon adventure will provide you with spectacular 100 mile panoramic mountain views. Prominent scenery may include views of the Continental Divide, Breckenridge Ski Resort, Lake Dillon, Keystone Resort, the Ten Mile Range, Pikes Peak, South Park, vast rolling ranges, native Colorado wildlife and the 14,000 foot Collegiate peaks.

Breckenridge Golf Club
The world's only Jack Nicklaus-designed municipal golf course, the Breckenridge Golf Club is in its 18th year. The 27 hole course incorporates all the Rocky Mountain's natural beauty -streams, beaver ponds, native grasses, sage brush, wetlands, pine and aspen groves. It's also home to the NFL Denver Broncos Alumni Rocky Mountain Golf Classic in June. Pro Erroll Miller and his staff see to all the details: The pro shop is fully stocked, and the restaurant/bar are full service.

Peak 8 Fun Park
Peak 8 Fun Park at the Breckenridge Ski Resort dishes up plentiful summer fun. Chairlift rides up and down the mountain offer a chance to snap some photos of incredible vistas, and the Alpine SuperSlide has three fiberglass tracks to descend the slope just a bit faster. Control the speed on the half-mile ride in sleds that can accommodate an adult and small child. Also at Peak 8 are the SuperPutt miniature golf course and Amaze'N Breckenridge human maze, as well as mountain biking.

Colorado River Runs
The rivers of Colorado cut deeply through the most spectacular scenery in the state. Narrow gorges become passageways that reveal the hidden layers of geological development. Broad flood plains open to display vistas of high mountain peaks miles in the distance. From tranquil backwaters to exciting rapids, the currents provide the setting for a celebration of nature that cannot be experienced elsewhere.

Georgetown Loop Railroad
The history of the magnificent Georgetown Loop streches back more than a century. The story begins during a time when the mountains were appreciated not just for their appearance, but for what was hiding inside. And what was found inside the mountains between Georgetown and Silver Plume in the 1860's quickly established the area as one of the great silver-producing regions in the world.
