Ski Resorts
Whether you're ready to tackle the steep and deep or looking for the perfect après-ski party, Summit County has it all.

Cultural Attractions

Breckenridge Historical District
Walk through Old Town's collection of architectural gems from the Victorian era.

Put on your conductor hat for the narrow-gauge train ride, then switch it for a miner's hard hat as you tour one of the area's silver mines.

Country Boy Mine
Catch the gold fever! Between walking 1,000ft underground in a 100 year old mine, viewing original mining equipment and panning for gold in Eureka Creek, there's enough mining history to interest everyone.
