As you crest the 11,400 foot summit of Berthoud Pass and make your way down U.S. Highway 40, the valley opens up before you like your own four-season playground. From the snowcapped peaks of the Continental Divide to the northern run-out of the Fraser River and its tributaries, Winter Park & The Fraser Valley shimmers with life.
When the snow flies in Colorado, Winter Park Resort and SolVista Basin at Granby Ranch offer mountains of snow-fueled adventure from world-famous ski bumps to sun-kissed cirques. Plus, you can enjoy four fantastic Nordic centers, guided or unguided snowmobile tours, dog sled rides, snowshoeing and more. All just 90 minutes from Denver.
And during the summertime, there is 588,000 acres of open space to explore, 600 miles of mountain biking and hiking trails, four golf courses, two rivers and countless lakes and streams for fishing, rafting, boating and other water recreation fun, and one National Park where you will be “awed” by the scenery and wildlife. Additionally, the resorts and towns of Winter Park and Fraser are bustling with 200+ events including music festivals, art and craft fairs, mountain bike races and events, ice cream socials, skatepark clinics, free concerts in the park… 0 reasons to be anywhere else. |
