Winter Park

Colorado's Favorite Year-Round Mountain Playground

Don't let the name fool you—Winter Park is a year-round wonderland with extensive things to do in the summer and the winter. Just 67 miles from Denver, Winter Park is renowned for its ski slopes, backcountry climbs, and other outdoor adventures. After a long day of adventures, you can wind down in Winter Park's bustling downtown area or modern ski village at the base of the slopes. And thanks to can't-miss signature events like Blues From the Top Music Festival and the Winter Park Carnival, you can pair your adventure with some entertainment any time of year.
 

Snowtime Fun And Outdoor Adventure Await

Not surprisingly, Winter Park is known for their cold-weather playgrounds famous among winter sports enthusiasts. From the family-friendly powder skiing and backcountry challenges of the nearly 3,000 skiable acres of Winter Park Resort, to guided snowmobile tours up the Continental Divide, sleigh rides, snowshoeing, tubing and dog sledding, Winter Park and the surrounding valley truly are a Winter Wonderland.
 

Spring and Summer Things to Do Too

Don't let the name fool you, the fun continues in Winter Park when the weather gets warmer. Summertime brings fully-bloomed wildflowers dotting lush green meadows with fragrant splashes of color, pristine rushing rivers and clear blue Colorado mountain skies. With over 600 miles of trails as well as steep backcountry climbs, fair-weather friends will relish their outdoor experiences in this haven for summertime hikers, bikers, fishers, and horseback riders. For the music enthusiast, there are outdoor music events and festivals featuring local and national artists nearly every week, all summer long.
