Towns
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.

Vail Mountain Resort has two main base areas: Vail Village and Lionshead Village. Both are certainly ski-centric but summer activities and recreation are just steps away. Biking, whitewater rafting, fly-fishing, horseback riding, zip-lining, hiking and more are all easily accessible.
Vail Village is serviced by Gondola One and has shopping and world-class dining, including Matsuhisa Vail. Lionshead Village, is a short walk (approximately one mile) or free bus ride west of Vail Village. It is serviced by the Eagle Bahn gondola and Chair 8.
