Winter Park Lodging

With so much hustle and congestion found in the city, it’s no wonder so many choose Winter Park, Colorado as the perfect vacation getaway. Fueled by its skiing popularity, the mountain village is a year-round attraction with something to offer everyone. Winter Park lodging is second to none and the accommodations bring a sense of comfort and convenience to any one of its visitors. No matter what the reason is, Winter Park truly is the perfect answer to anyone’s need for rest and relaxation.

During the construction of the Moffat Tunnel, many settled in the area mostly due to the close proximity to the construction project. A local merchant named “Doc” Graves recognized the site’s potential and began development in the 1920’s with the construction of 26 tourist cabins, a café and service station. Powered by a water wheel installed at nearby Vasquez Creek, the village enjoyed some prosperity and economic growth – widely absent during the Great Depression years. In 1939, the Winter Park Ski Resort first opened its doors and patrons flocked to ski the magnificent slopes. Despite years of continued success, Winter Park wasn’t officially founded until August 1, 1978.

After years of vibrant ski seasons, Winter Park has become commonly known as “Colorado’s Highest,” considering its claim to having the highest elevation of any city in the United States resting at 12,060 feet above sea level. Not just a ski town, Winter Park has evolved into what many find to be a year-round attraction. Many find themselves each year visiting simply to take in the beautiful scenery. Visitors can explore the sites by way of hiking trails or on mountain bike. Others take in guided horseback rides or can even go high up in a hot air balloon. From disc golf, to fly-fishing or simply resting next to a mountain stream, Winter Park has virtually everything you could want from a mountain resort town. The town center has much to offer as well with its many specialty shops littered with unique, handcrafted jewelry and Native American artwork. Local residents also host many fun-filled events and festivals that offer something for the entire family.

From its earliest roots as a simple construction camp, Winter Park has evolved into what is truly a fantastic getaway experience. Winter Park lodging is always eager to accommodate and the hospitality is always inviting. No matter what brings someone to this gorgeous mountain town, Winter Park, Colorado truly is a shimmering gem in the shadow of the Rocky Mountains.
