Chairlift & Gondola Rides
No vacation in Summit County would be complete without taking a ride up the scenic chairlifts at Keystone or Breckenridge ski area. Although the gondolas are closed during the summer, the chairlifts provide a spectacular view of Lake Dillon from the top of the Keystone mountain. The chairlift at Breckenridge goes all the way up to 11,059 feet! Looking out towards the Continental Divide, you'll experience the best of Colorado's high alpine environment. Colorful, native wildflowers such as lupine, columbine, fireweed, and indian paintbrush will be vibrant and beautiful as ever. Deer, bighorn sheep and other wildlife will make your trip up the chairlift memorable.
Riding the chairlift up to the top of either Keystone or Breckenridge resort is more than just a sightseeing experience. The chairlifts provide access to some of Summit County's most popular hiking and biking trails. Hiking from the top of either lift is great because you get views throughout your entire hike. It is even possible to take a bicycle up the chairlift so that you can ride downhill without expending all of your energy going uphill!
The scenic chairlifts at Keystone and Breckenridge run from about June through September. Tickets can be purchased individually or package rates are available combining chairlift rides with other family activities.
