Breckenridge may be best knows for its Five Peaks and high-alpine skiing, but the real secret to enjoying a winter vacation here is the fun you can have off the ski slopes. Here are our top 5 winter activities that don't involve a chairlift.

Explore miles of trails, reaching elevations of nearly 12,500 feet, with 360-degree views of four mountain ranges, including the Continental Divide. From family-friendly adventures to high-altitude, adrenaline-filled excursions, you can find a snowmobiling tour to fit anyone in your group.

Experience the thrill of guiding your own team of Siberian Huskies. During your guided tour, you'll rotate between running the sled and riding as a passenger on this 'Call of the Wild' adventure.


This is high-altitude exhilaration at 11,000 feet! You're transported to the first zip line deck by snowcat and proceed to zip down six lines. All while taking in the stunning views of the snow-covered peaks of Mount Elbert and Mount Massive, Colorado's two highest mountains.

Over the river and through the woods...this is an authentic Western experience for the entire family. Choose a daytime sleighride followed by hot cocoa, or a starry evening ride topped off by a hearty dinner in an cozy lantern-lit, heated tent.
