Breckenridge has real Wild West roots and is 100 years older than neigbouring Vail—the town’s pastel-painted weatherboard buildings reflect this. It was formally created in the 1860s as miners flocked to the area in search of gold. World War II officially ended the mining era and in December of 1961 the Breckenridge Ski Area opened for business.

Today, Breckenridge serves as the county seat and in 1981, the Secretary of the Interior designated the greatest concentration of the town’s historic structures a National Register Historic District in Colorado. But it's the people rather than the public buildings that make Breckenridge such a welcoming place. There is a thriving local community and you’ll feel the welcome as you are strolling along the streets or sampling the cafés and coffee houses. Breckenridge is perhaps the most authentic Western ski town in Colorado.
