Snowmobiling in Breckenridge, Colorado

If you’re seeking an adventurous non-ski activity on your next winter getaway in Breckenridge, Colorado, consider booking a snowmobile tour. Breckenridge snowmobiling offers an adventurous escape into the heart of Colorado’s Rocky Mountains, providing riders with stunning views and endless opportunities to play in some of the state’s deepest backcountry powder.

All Breckenridge Snowmobiling Tours ride to the top of the Continental Divide, providing guests with a new perspective on the spectacular mountain landscape that surrounds them. Rides begin with your guide offering a brief safety talk and an overview of the operation of your snowmobile, followed by a short ride up a trail system that connects with an open practice area. Here, guests are able to feel out the nuances of their machines’ handling by increasing their riding pace and leaning into the corners of the practice track.

Riding parties are grouped depending on the level of adventure their members are looking for, before the tour makes its way into the open bowls and meadows above the timberline. Upon reaching this terrain, more adventurous guests are invited to let their machines run wide open, play in the deep powder and bank turns off the surrounding mountainsides.

As the tour reaches Chicago Ridge, located 12,500 feet above sea level atop the Continental Divide, riders are able to break for pictures with postcard-like scenery as the backdrop. Riders then descend back into the high alpine terrain below the divide for some more play time on their machines before re-entering a lower elevation trail system that winds its way through a towering spruce and lodgepole forest. Along the way, your guide may offer the opportunity to break for hot chocolate at a historic miner’s cabin that remains intact at the base of Fremont Pass before continuing down the trails.

Tour guests will find that complimentary transportation is available from their Breckenridge Lodging property to and from the local snowmobile base camps. Helmets, snowsuits and boots are provided by local outfitters free of charge, but guests are advised to bring their own ski goggles or sunglasses for eye protection as well as a hat and a warm pair of gloves or mittens.

Whether you’ve never ridden before, or you’re an experience rider with a desire to ride some of the highest terrain the Colorado Rockies have to offer, Breckenridge Snowmobiling is sure to be the highlight of any winter vacation in the area.
