Timeshare Information

Breckenridge, Colorado, is known as a world-class ski resort. But in the summer it transforms itself into a top rated family vacation destination. As the locals like to say, "Breckenridge: Perfect Mountain. Perfect Mountain Town. Especially in the Summer." Rent a budget timeshare in this beautiful Rocky Mountain historical town, and see how kid-friendly it is in the summer time.

Located high up in the mountains, summer temperatures here are just right, as Goldilocks would say - not too hot and not too cold. A light jacket might be a good idea for those occasional mountain thunderstorms and cool evenings, but otherwise shorts and flip-flops would be in order.

Every member of the family will find plenty of fun summer things to do in Breckenridge. Your Breckenridge timeshare resort will offer such things as swimming pools and tennis courts. The surrounding area offers hiking, horseback riding and fly fishing, amongst breathtaking mountain scenery. For mountain biking enthusiasts there are a wide network of trails of varying levels of difficulty, with the convenience of lift access on Peak 8 via the Colorado SuperChair. Maps and bike rentals are available, of course.

And you won't want to miss taking the kids to Peak 8 for the Fun Park opening June 18, 2010 (see photo). Start with the Alpine Super Slide for an exciting ride that the teens will love and even little ones as young as 2 can ride with an adult. The more experienced riders will enjoy hurtling along the Giant Slalom track with its multiple dips.

The Fun Park has a Climbing Wall that will test the strength and agility of just about everyone in the family, in a safe and user-friendly environment. With three different routes of difficulty, even a youngster that weighs at least 30 pounds can join in the fun.

Another Fun Park activity that the entire family can enjoy together is the Super Putt mini golf course. Advertised as "High Alpine Golf with a View" this is actually quite a challenging course with lots of fun twists and turns.

"AMAZE'n Breckenridge" is Colorado's largest human maze. The kids will love trying to beat the clock as they scramble through this zany two-level entanglement. The Sky Fly Power Trampoline is jumping with a twist - you'll be in a special harness with a bungee cord system. How high can you fly?! This is another activity safe for children weighing 30 pounds or more.

For kids 12 and under the Bounce House will work off some of that extra energy. And when it's time for quieter pursuits, let the kids pan for gem stones, and the entire family will enjoy a scenic chairlift ride.

Planning a ski trip with the family? Everyone knows that Breckenridge, Colorado, is home to world-class skiing. But, bring the family to ski Breckenridge, and you’ll discover an historic town with exciting things to see and do for a truly memorable family vacation this winter.

Breckenridge began during the Pikes Peak Gold Rush of 1859 when prospectors entered what was then part of Utah Territory. Today there are relics of the town’s mining days for visitors to see, and mine shafts 1000 feet into the ground to tour. The Country Boy Mine conducts tours in winter, with reservations. The Heritage Alliance has recently renovated a log cabin that was built in 1875, which features fun interactive exhibits and a small viewing room with a film about Breckenridge’s exciting historic first days. They also offer winter tours of the town, with reservations.

And there’s more fun waiting for your family outdoors. Dog Sledding – yes, you can actually ride on one! What a unique experience for the entire family! Ice Skating – both indoor and outdoor. You can glide (or attempt gliding!) on two indoor rinks, or on Maggie’s Pond. Ever tried snowshoeing? There’s a trick to it! Lessons, and rentals, are available at two Nordic centers, each with groomed paths. Then there’s wild sledding down the famous hill at Carter Park.

How about snowmobiling on a guided tour to a ghost town? And you won’t believe this – Fly Fishing in the winter! Guided trips are available. What better way to finish up the day than with a dinner Sleigh Ride! To the joyous jingling of the horse’s bells you ride to a camp where dinner is cooked over a camp stove while musicians entertain you. If you want that to be a romantic ride, you can send the youngsters to “Kids’ Night Out!” for some fun on their own.

All of this, plus exhilarating skiing, and you’ll be ready to head “home” for rest and relaxation. The best type of lodging for this is a timeshare. Renting a timeshare gives your family space to really sprawl out because you get multiple bedrooms, and a living room. A fully-equipped kitchen is also included, and all of this for a cost that can be a fraction of hotel rates. See these Breckenridge Timeshare Resorts for a listing of timeshares available for rent. Have family fun this winter.
