How far apart are Breckenridge and Denver?
Breckenridge is about 80 miles west of Denver, and it takes around an hour and a half to drive between these cities.
What is the best time of year to go to Breckenridge?
November – April is Ski Season. These months average 300 inches of annual snowfall and daytime temps in the upper 20s. Temperatures are warmest in November and April, so some ski runs won’t be open during these two months.
Ski Season has peak prices and tourist numbers. So if you’re on a budget, avoid weekends and holidays, and go near the beginning or end of the season.
Breckenridge is a very budget-friendly destination from May – October. Daytime temperatures will only peak in the low 70s in July, so you’ll want layers for the mornings and evenings.

The historic downtown Breckenridge is very walkable, but the rest of the city is spread out and requires a car or public transportation. There are free trolleys with stops all over the city and the surrounding area.
