Breck's Five Peaks

As you first make your way into town, it’s impossible to miss Breck’s massive Five Peaks cutting into the skyline. Part of the Rocky Mountain’s Ten Mile Range, Breck is comprised of Peak 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10, spanning from North to South.

PeakCharacteristcs
Peak 6The Sensory Experience: Advanced intermediates can get their first taste of high alpine bliss. There is no base area here, you have to work your way over from Peak 7.
Peak 7The Smooth Operator: More low-key base area and a great place to get your day started on snow. Peak 7 is the easy rider that keeps the good times rolling but also likes to jam out.
Peak 8The Heartbeat:Breck's flagship base area and the central artery of the moutain.
Peak 9The Fresh Start:One of the best places to learn to ski and ride and also happens to be the closest base area to downtoen Breck.
Peak 10The Wild Child:A hub of advanced terrain and one of the most lap-able peaks on the mountain.

Lost & Found

You can turn in any lost item to a guest services member. Breck also operates the Lost & Found window in Ski Hill Grill (base of peak 8) for the retrieval of lost items.

Lockers

Daily and overnight locker rentals are available at the base of Peak 8 (inside Ski Hill Grill) or the base of Peak 9 (inside the Maggie or the Beaver Run plaza).

Hydration

Recreating at elevation can be tough work! Locate one of base area guest services representatives for a cup of water. Staying hydrated is key in the mountains, so don’t hesitate to ask!

Sunscreen

The sun can get intense at 12,840’ above sea level, make sure you’re protecting yourself. Find a guest services representative to get some sunscreen to apply or reapply.

Peak 9 Breckenridge|1.12km from city center
Fantastic stay at the Marriott in Breckenridge. Pleasantly surprised to find a full kitchen with an oven and full size refrigerator nicely stocked with dishes, pots, etc. The service was friendly and Angela at the desk took extra time to help me to keep my provisions cold while my room was being prepared and answered every question with a smile. The room was nicely appointed with a comfortable bed. I did not use the workout room or pool but glad they were there for a future stay. Great free underground parking and a lounge where I was able to get work done well after checkout. Well deserving of more than 4 stars!

Peak 9 Breckenridge|1.35km from city center
While the hotel was nice and had pleasant views, I would not say its worth the money. It was particularly frustrating to learn that they had no parking available other than their valet parking. And while valet parking is covered by their amenity fee (also absurd and a junk fee that is completely unnecessary) the cost of parking itself is $50 a night. So $100 in hidden fees on top of room rate.

The staff was excellent. I had some gear I needed to repair. The staff provided me with a small sewing kit and loaned a tool I needed. The room was clean and a great size for what I needed. Breakfast selection was excellent. I was able to get a load of laundry done. The laundry was on the same floor and was clean. Definitely would stay there again.

Peak 9 Breckenridge|1.53km from city center
I recently stayed at Beaver Run Resort and had an exceptional experience. The resort's location is perfect for both relaxation and adventure, nestled right at the base of the ski slopes. The staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful throughout my stay. My room was spacious, clean, and offered stunning mountain views. The resort amenities were fantastic, including multiple hot tubs, pools, and a well-equipped fitness center. I particularly enjoyed the on-site dining options, which provided delicious meals without the need to leave the property. The ski-in/ski-out access made my days on the slopes incredibly convenient. Overall, Beaver Run Resort exceeded my expectations in every way. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable mountain getaway.

Peak 9 Breckenridge|0.99km from city center
We were expecting a GRET stay instead we were surprised by many non typical incidents. First we did not have parking spots the attendant at front desk was less than excited to assist us. The room was nice but we asked for no pillows with down feathers and instead had all down pillows:( I’m highly allergic.  I asked for pillows they told us we would receive them and never did. Me and husband had hives over and over and it could have been from all of the pets all over this location. Overall just disappointed at our stay. Scenery was amazing but that was it. Even to get coffee it was a task. We had to go down and get it after waiting a couple of hours. Village at Breckenridge peak 9 inn needs to step up their game!! Our ac was so loud we couldn’t even hear TV! Very overpriced for stay that probably would have been better at a low end hotel!

Historic Downtown Breckenridge|0.87km from city center
This is my favorite hotel during my 28-day journey exploring the United States. The location is fantastic — behind the hotel there is a small creek that leads directly to Main Street, and the walkway is beautiful. My family loved it. The hotel is spacious, very professional, and fully equipped. The room has everything we needed: a microwave, refrigerator, dishes, and even a sink. The bathroom even provides natural skincare products, which we really appreciated. What impressed us the most is that the room has so many power outlets — such thoughtful design! But the best part of our stay was the front desk staff. She was incredibly sweet, kind, and patient when helping us. My family truly had relaxing and wonderful days here. If we come back to Breckenridge in the future, we will definitely stay here again
