Village
It wasn’t so long ago that the resort of Winter Park comprised a couple of ski services buildings and the lift terminal, but that has changed with the development of a new base village. Many of the buildings in the village make reference to the resort’s railroad roots. The world famous Moffat Tunnel (the longest railroad tunnel in the world at the time of its construction) is located less than 100 yards from the chairlifts. Trains can be seen and heard chugging in and out of the tunnel frequently throughout the day. more...
Accommodation
The various lodges around Winter Park village offer over 630 rooms within walking distance of the slopes - or their private shuttles will take you to the base of the mountain. more...
Après-ski
Nightlife is informal and friendly. For après ski, the Derailer Bar at the base of Winter Park has a sun deck, and The Kickapoo Tavern located in the adjacent Zephyr Mountain Lodge offers two levels of outdoor decks for après ski. more...
Restaurants & bars
Every Friday and Saturday night, the Zephyr Express Quad transforms into a gondola to whisk hungry diners to the Lodge at Sunspot. Located over 2 miles above sea level with breathtaking views of the Continental Divide, the Lodge at Sunspot offers continental cuisine with a Colorado flair. Specialties include locally procured elk, buffalo, steak and trout.

Other activities
Winter Park is first and foremost a ski area and there is not a great deal for non-skiers apart from other winter sports activities – snowmobiling, snowshoeing, hot-springs tours, and tubing at Fraser. The Tubing Hill, open daily, must be the best fun for all ages! more...
Getting there
Winter Park is accessible by road and rail and is the only U.S. resort with direct rail access downtown. more...
