Site Description
Nestled at the base of Peak 9 and only a short distance from historic Main Street in Breckenridge, Beaver Run is in the perfect location where you can find adventurous activities, including ski-out access to the Beaver Run Superchair and the Quicksilver Chair. If you want a historical experience, take the complimentary shuttle to downtown Breckenridge; the town was first settled in 1859 when gold was discovered in the Blue River, which still runs through town. The town has preserved and restored its historical roots and offers many fantastic shops, museums, and dining options to enhance your overall experience. Beaver Run is a full service resort featuring the best amenities, including two heated pools, seven hot tubs, steam room & sauna, workout room, and relaxing spa. Beaver Run offers great dining options: Spencer’s Steak and Spirits, Base 9 Lounge and the Skywalk Market - open year round - and the Coppertop Bar and Café - open during winter season.
