drive time

Approximate planning ranges; allow extra time for traffic and winter conditions.

Denver International Airport is the main gateway. Plan roughly a couple of hours for the mountain drive, with substantial extra time for winter weather and I-70 traffic. Airport shuttles are an alternative to renting a car. In town, Breck Free Ride and regional Summit Stage buses make many trips possible without driving. Check the route to your exact lodging and ski base. Free day parking with a skier shuttle is available on McCain Road; closer town and slopeside parking may be paid.

🐕 PET POLICY

Historical pet-policy guidance.

Dogs are not allowed on ski slopes or lifts. The town of Breckenridge is very dog-friendly with numerous pet-friendly restaurants (outdoor patios), shops, and accommodations. Carter Dog Park offers off-leash play. Several pet-friendly vacation rentals and hotels are available throughout town.

Confirm rooms, fees and access rules with the property or resort before you travel. A pet-friendly area does not mean pets can use ski slopes or lifts.
