I’m a Breckenridge regular, and you can’t beat the convenience of the Village at Breckenridge. It’s just a quick walk to the QuickSilver lift on Peak 9, so you don’t need to waste time on shuttles or riding the Gondola to the base of Peak 7 or 8. From the QuickSilver lift, you can directly access Peak 10 (Falcon lift), cross over to Peak 8 (Peak 8 Super Connect), or enjoy the cruisers of Peak 9 via the Mercury lift. These are great options to cover the full ski area and avoid the congestion at the base of Peak 8. At the end of your ski day, you’ll really appreciate not having to queue up to ride the Gondola back down. Instead, you ski back to the après-ski options at the base of Peak 9.
The resort itself is a very easy to walk to all the amenities in the town of Breckenridge. You are right in the middle of everything. The other resorts at the base of Peak 9 are a longer walk to the shops and nightlife in town.
Since you’re at the south end of town (where Hwy 9 splits from Main St.), the Breckenridge Brewery is right there. This is Colorado’s gem of micro-brews with an excellent, diverse menu to suit all tastes. With the lifts closing at 4PM, the Breck Brewery is a great Happy Hour option with ½ price appetizers from 3-6 PM.
The Village’s accommodations reflect the recent updates. Very comfortable and tasteful. The bathroom isn’t the biggest, but there is adequate room for a comfortable shower. The rooms are upgraded with LCD flat panel TV’s and small refrigerators – both are a must have.
The real highlight was the friendliness of the staff. Nothing takes the logistical sting out of a ski vacation like valet parking, a warm, welcoming front desk, and friendly delivery of your bags to your room.
