The town's namesake glacier-fed ski and snowboard resort offers extensive terrain across five peaks, complemented by a lively après-ski scene, mountain biking, and summer festivals. Outside the resort, visitors find highlights like the BreckConnect Gondola linking town to slopes, nationally recognized Nordic and alpine trails, and a compact core with shops, restaurants, and historic landmarks. Whether visiting in winter or summer, travelers should come prepared for high-altitude weather and consider local transit options for walking or shuttle transfers.
