Which Resort to Choose
Colorado is full of incredible destinations for winter celebrations. If you still don’t have your favorite one, choosing a place to stay can be difficult. In fact, there’s no universal recommendation. All resorts are beautiful and vivid. Yet, each of them has its unique rhythm and charm. So, just think about your own preferences.
#1 Denver to Vail
Vail offers both a massive area for skiing and an impressive number of winter events. From December 24 to January 1, Vail hosts torchlight parades, fireworks on New Year’s Eve, and Christmas concerts. Most events are free to visit. Plus, many are child-friendly. So, no wonder party lovers and family people are heading to the same resort. Those who get tired from loud parties and dancing battles can enjoy skiing, ice skating, and fine dining.
Transportation: The holiday season means busy roads. So, going to Vail via I-70 can be a hard task. If you prefer to travel safely, a private shuttle is your hero. Prices for the Denver Airport to Vail rides start at $575 for small families and couples. Group transfer costs from $850 and more.
#2 Denver to Breckenridge
Breckenridge differs from other places due to its historic streets and laid-back atmosphere. During the holidays, it becomes even more charming, as many visitors love stylish decorations and festive lights. Moreover, the town organizes horse-drawn carriage rides and tree lighting ceremonies. The New Year’s Eve celebrations usually include fireworks and live music. Another great thing people choose Breck for their winter vacation is the Christmas markets. Indeed, here you can buy almost everything, from local produce to designer clothes at a discount.
Transportation: Choose a shuttle from Denver to Breckenridge for only $550 if you travel alone or with your partner. Yet, if you are heading to the slopes with a big family, a ride will cost $800-$950, offering 9-14 comfy places.
#3 Denver to Aspen (Snowmass)
Aspen and Snowmass are two luxurious resorts. They are situated close to each other. This year, traditionally, Aspen will become a meeting point for celebrities and fashion bloggers. So, if you enjoy glamour and fashion, Aspen is your place to go. While Snowmass is way calmer and cheaper, it’s linked to the main Aspen resort. So, staying there, you get access to all the services and don’t spend too much. Celebrating the beginning of 2026, Aspen hosts festive markets, holiday-themed ski events, and New Year’s Eve fireworks.
Transportation: A private car ride from Denver to Aspen (Snowmass) takes more than 4 hours. Moreover, holiday traffic often leads to big delays. So, if you want to feel confident and safe on mountain roads, book a shuttle service. Prices begin at $1,285-$1,900.
#4 Denver to Beaver Creek
Beaver Creek has become famous as a popular family place. In fact, it offers many types of winter activities that are ideal for kids and families. Coming for the Christmas celebration, visitors can enjoy ice skating shows and holiday dining. Moreover, the Christmas village looks fantastic. Beaver Creek is loved for its creative Christmas décor and beautiful atmosphere. This time, New Year’s Eve offers a torchlight fest and a fireworks show.
Transportation: Your way from Denver to Beaver Creek can be tricky in winter conditions. Undoubtedly, local roads are too dangerous for those who don’t know the Rocky Mountains well. So, a private shuttle to Beaver Creek with a professional driver behind the wheel can be a good solution. Pay $850-$950 for a group ride or $575 only for up to 5 passengers.
#5 Denver to Steamboat Springs
Steamboat Springs is especially valued by those who seek a quiet rest for the winter holidays. Moreover, the resort is known for its ‘champagne powder’ snow.
