Whether you’re an avid skier, a nature lover, or someone seeking a peaceful retreat, Summit County offers an unforgettable experience in the heart of the Rocky Mountains.
Centrally located in Colorado and situated approximately 70 miles west of Denver, this mountain paradise is easily accessible by Interstate 70, making it a popular destination for vacation and real estate investment. Summit County encompasses an area of over 600 square miles, surrounded by National Forest and World Class Ski Resorts.
Summit County is made up of several charming towns, each with their own unique character and draw. The most visited locations include Breckenridge, Copper, Keystone, Frisco, Silverthorne, and Dillon. Breckenridge, a historic mining town turned ski resort, is famous for its quaint mountain town feel, lively Main Street, and world-class skiing on 5 different peaks.

While Summit County is recognized as one of the premier winter destinations with its world-class ski resorts, including Breckenridge, Keystone, and Copper Mountain, the county also offers a haven for outdoor enthusiasts all year round. In the warmer months, visitors can explore an extensive network of hiking and mountain biking trails, go fishing in pristine alpine lakes and streams, or experience the thrill of whitewater rafting or kayaking on the Blue River. Picture staying at a cabin in the woods and taking in the tranquility of hundreds of miles of wilderness or booking a house on Main Street and having access to all the best bars, restaurants, and shops the county has to offer.
