Make Copper Mountain your Destination for a Romantic Summer Getaway

Visiting the Breckenridge area during the summer is a treat for all ages, whether you’re here for a romantic getaway or a family vacation in Colorado.  One of the best places to visit in the summer is beautiful Copper Mountain, Colorado, where a wide variety of outdoor activities are available for locals and tourists alike.

Start your weekend getaway in Breckenridge with a ride on the American Eagle chairlift.  Not only will this give you a spectacular 11,375-foot view of the area, Copper Mountain is also the only resort in the country offering free chairlift rides.  When you get to the top, take in the scenery over lunch at the Solitude BBQ. Stop by Guest Services between 10 am and 4 pm, seven days a week, weather permitting.

If you love outdoor adventure, you have come to the right place.  Buy a Summer Day Pass for $49 and spend a full day “playing” on the bumper boats, climbing wall, paddle boats, Quad Power Jump, a “Diggler” rental, mini-golf and Go-Karts.  A Copper Mountain day pass is the ideal way to get the most from your Colorado weekend getaway. 

In case you’ve never heard of a Diggler, they are off-road scooters that offer fantastic fun all day long.  They can be brought on the chair lift and ridden all the way down the mountain. 

The Climbing Wall at Copper is the largest outdoor climbing wall in all of Colorado, with areas for every skill level.

Once you’ve exhausted yourself with all this outdoor fun, you may need a break before hiking on Copper Mountain, but if you can find the energy it is definitely worth a try.  Hiking along the Colorado Trail is one way of seeing the mountain, but many hikers start by viewing animals and plants in the forest at the top of the chairlift.

Ladies know that no romantic getaway would be complete without a visit to a spa, and there is nothing more inviting than a facial and massage after a long day of outdoor activities.  The Copper Mountain Athletic Club is an oasis of relaxation, offering guests a full range of therapeutic massage.  Experience more about your romantic getaway in Colorado by staying in a getaway cabin.
