Breckenridge Ski Resort Winter

 

The Town of Breckenridge hit its 150th milestone birthday last year, but it’s far from showing any grays. In fact, over the past 150 years, it’s the spirit of the town which has kept “Breck” young at heart. All that is new and mentioned below is a reflection of our rich heritage consisting of equal parts outcast and visionary, frontier and fine living. “Breckies” around the world are passionate about spending days or years in our small town, because of the history, heritage and characters that have made this Victorian mining town what it is today and why visitors and locals agree it is the Perfect Mountain, Perfect Mountain Town ™.

 

Town of Breckenridge, Dine Out - Indie style
Big cities boast celebrity chefs aplenty but what about the unsung heroes of Breck’s small town restaurant scene – the local chefs whose dishes keep tourists and locals coming back for more. Breckenridge celebrates independent chefs and restaurants that dominate town and garner unwavering recommendations.

Breckenridge’s unique chefs offer original and creative menus along with award-winning wine lists, 100+ beer lists, and even a 100+ tequila list. Each restaurateur and chef strives to find a niche within the community and in the greater resort industry and the results keep guests coming.
