Kamelya Farkas

A definite must do thing for me is to visit the Breckenridge Troll!! We will be there next week. Can’t wait to go see him again!!

Chad Neilsen

Our daughter absolutely loves the ice skating rink at Grand Colorado. We don’t get to ice skate much here in Florida so it’s something she looks forward to every trip to Breck!

Maha Dass

We love snowboarding on the beautiful Breckinridge slopes and swimming in the steamy hot water while it’s 30 degrees out!

Denise Bilyeu

When we come to Breckenridge, we have TWO “must-do” items on our list. 1) Enjoy the hot tubs outside – no matter the temperature! 2) We always look for a new restaurant to try. We love the vibe of Breck and are so glad to have a home away from home on Peak 7!

Patricia Friehauf

Our family loves to hike the many trails in and around Breckenridge! We plan to summit Quandry Peak this summer.

Ellen Staton

Swim in GTL’s pool and soak in the hot pools! All the grandkids love it and can’t wait to go down there, often on check-in day even before dinner. Reading stories is also always a favorite. They call GTL “Nana’s mountain house”. We come in the summer and winter. (the picture isn’t all of us but was the best photo)

Trevor Coeling

We love going restaurant/bar hopping with no set itinerary in downtown Breck! We just walk along, and whatever we feel fits our fancy that evening, we just… do it! We especially love Modis!

Robert DiTommaso

Every year we look forward to spotting wildlife. From time to time we have been fortunate enough to spot Beavers, Fox, Moose and more..

Joel Nathe

As Minnesotan’s, our favorite thing is hiking in the mountains. This is me with the kids at the top of a trail just south of Breckenridge. Absolutely beautiful. Good exercise, great views and excellent bonding with my kids. The wife was having troubles with the high altitude, so she hung back a bit. Even though it was summer, there was snow and cool air at the top to counteract the internal heat we were generating from the vigorous hiking up the mountain. To me, hiking is the best exercise on the planet, when you have views like this.

Theresa Paul

Riding the gondola into town for donuts with the granddaughters, they tell me I am the best Nana EVER!

Stephanie Goodwin

Go to vail and eat at our favorite German restaurant Aloenm Rise. Just there yesterday!

Gary & Roxanne Turnbull

My husband and I are retired and coming to the Grand Timber Lodge is our favorite get away. We love to hike throughout the many trails in the area. We went on some trails not to far from the lodge to see if we could find the moose we saw last year and found a wonderful surprise. Fall time in Breck is so amazingly beautiful and this lake was an incredible find. Waters so clear you could see the fish swimming around the shore. It’s so wonderful to spend time at the Grand Timber Lodge and enjoy the town and the wonderful surprises you find hiking around Breckenridge.

Andrew Barilla

Erics pizza is a MUST for our Breck trips….along with a soak in the hot tubs at the base of Peak 8!

Dave Ellis

We use our BGV condos several times a year and never tire of exploring Breckenridge and the surrounding mountains and towns. New discoveries always await ! The Breckenridge Troll named Isak Heartstone looks forward to your visit and he is so easy to walk to. Visit here for tips on how to find him: https://gobreck.com/experience-breckenridge/arts-and-culture/how-to-find-the-breckenridge-troll . And be sure to check the town calendar for festivals and special events. They help make Breckenridge the most awesome town in Colorado for a vacation stay !

Martha Skinner

We go to the mountains for the mountains! And the mountains are best experienced for us in a Jeep. The narrow rocky roads can be frightening, but well worth it for the views, the wildlife, the adventure.

Adrianne King

We had a fantastic time in Breckenridge! The kids especially loved the pool! We also enjoyed sledding, making stuffed animals & Isak Heartstone was also a highlight!

Antonio Orozco IV

Traveling to Breckenridge each year is our family tradition and we have made it our priory since my daughters birth in 2009. Sofia is now 13 years old and we celebrated her 13th birthday in Breckenridge… She is my skiing buddy, a major part of her and my tradition is to Ski together, just her and I.

Shawn LaBare

Relax in the Infinity Spa then belly up to the lobby bar. Of course spend great amount of time in the pools with the boy….

Marina Mattleman

Cross country is my to go too. I loved being outside . I am a nurse in a busy ER and anytime I can be outside with my family is my favorite thing. But after my visit to Breckinridge and doing cross county I am even explain the peace I get from being in the wood in the snow and mountains around me. I love it the fresh air and snow. Can’t wait to be back over and over again.

Denice Bailey

You can’t beat a hike in or around Breckenridge. Breath-taking scenery, well-marked trails, and it’s a phenomenal way to get that heart rate up!

William Gessner

Must do? Stay at the Grand Lodge on Peak 7. It is at the base of the best skiing in America, the hot tubs and pools are great, and the food at the Sevens is fantastic.

Ginger Schaaf

We enjoying waking up early to enjoy the quiet of the woods by going for a snowy hike before hitting the slopes. A beautiful beginning to a day in the mountains.

Vicki Miller Keeton Kessler

Crepe Stand…yum!

Kathy Whorten

Having fun!
