breckenridge gondola

We had a great time riding the Gondola. Even my 70+ mother was able to get on and off with little trouble. The view is spectacular and you can't beat the price-free!

The gondola ride is so nice. The kids loved it. And the views are the best. We rode both of them one to one summit and the other across to the next summit.

Free ride takes you up to a great spot to get some pictures and watch some big air trick from skiers and snowboarders.

Best way to get to the mountain. Free to everyone. Will accommodate strollers. My 3 year old grandson loves to ride it. Look for moose in open areas before you get to Peak 7.

you can park near downtown and take the gondola up to the mountain, they also have a gondola from the base to another peak and back again if you are tired of skiing.

Several stops, so you can catch it anywhere. Lines not horrible. And really, is there any choice? Heading there again now.

Biggest thing is the cost to park. If you can take your resort shuttle to the start it would be best.

My grandchildren were visiting and on their day off from ski school they wanted to go on the gondola. We rode around once with their parents, went to lunch and nothing would do but they needed to go back to the gondola. Mom and dad went shopping and I took them around 3 more times, the 3 year old fell asleep the last time down.

The Breck Gondola came right to our resort at the base of peak 8. We used it to get into town and we used it to get to the base of peak 7 for meals. My son loved it and not only was it convenient but it was also free. The only downside is that it shuts down shortly after the lifts close. So, you can't take it into town really early or after a dinner. Luckily they run buses for that.

Took it to the Alpenglow Stube for dinner. We did not have to wait in line with the skiers, there was a special entrance for those with reservations, they gave you blankets.

Really nice scenery (including deer, fox) and great to take advantage of this free ride if you aren't skiing. We also used in the summer to go up to the roller coaster and slide with kids. Only wish is that it would run a little later in the day for people staying on the mountain to get to/from town.

By the end of the week my wife was still skiing but my knees were shot. We wanted to meet on the mountain for lunch but the question was how to do it so she would not have to ski down. The gondola is a scenic ride that serves peaks 7 and 8. If you are not skiing but only going to the restaurant there is no charge. It is also a great way to access peaks 7 and 8 for skiing but you need a lift ticket for that.

It is enclosed so the ride to the top is pleasant. If the weather is cold & snowy you will be glad you are in the gondola.

If you get to the Gondola parking lot early and park close to the gondola, it's wonderful, very convenient. Whether you get off at either peak 7 or 8, you are right at the slope- no long walks. It's a great ride too just for the views.

This is the way to get from the town parking lot up the mountain to Peak 8 the central peak for all the many slopes. Three total stops up the mountain with beautiful views on the way. No lift pass needed. Nice lodge at the base of Peak 8 if you want to just go up, relax and watch the ski show.
