Breckenridge

Getting around Breckenridge is simple. You can cross the compact downtown in about fifteen minutes thanks to sidewalks on almost every street and well-marked crosswalks, and the best part, most hotels, shops, and restaurants sit right downtown.

Rent a bike to enjoy Gold-rated lanes (Breckenridge’s recreational trail and bike lanes are rated Gold-level Bicycle Friendly Community by the League of American Bicylists) and the paved rec path, or hop on the free Breck Free Ride bus and Main Street Trolley, which run every fifteen to thirty minutes, have two bike racks per bus, and show real time live locations in the “My Free Ride” app.

They stop at the ski resort base, and the free BreckConnect Gondola lifts you from town to Peak 7 and Peak 8. Many hotels also offer their own free shuttles. Leaving town is just as stress-free. The Summit Stage bus is free of charge and reaches Keystone, Arapahoe Basin, Copper Mountain, Frisco, Dillon, Silverthorne, and Summit Cove.

You can also use Uber or Lyft, call a local taxi, or book private car services for airport trips, just keep in mind that fares can get high during busy hours. Most days, you can cover every trip on foot, by bike, or with the free buses, gondola, and hotel shuttles.
