Relax and skate some figure eights! Breckenridge is home to a unique Ice Skating venue, offering the perfect opportunity to spend an afternoon gliding through a winter wonderland.

Main Street is the heart of the historic district where over 200 buildings from the mining era are preserved and loved. Today they are boutiques, coffee shops, restaurants and stores. In late January, the International Snow Sculpture Championships transform 20-ton blocks of snow into enormous, intricate works of art and may still be nearby to walk through and enjoy.
Isak Heartstone (the Breckenridge Troll) just may be modern Breckenridge’s most famous resident. Isak’s smiling face greets many visitors to his new home along Illinois Creek off of Boreas Pass Road. He must be happy to be there in his permanent spot; he’s holding on tightly to a nearby Lodgepole Pine Tree. Created by Danish artist Thomas Dambo, Isak is a 15’ tall Troll cleverly made of scrap wood and recycled materials to remind us all to be kind to nature. Take the easy Trollstigen trail to say hello to this gentle giant. During the winter, Trollstigen Trail can be icy, snow packed, muddy, and/or slick. Please come prepared to hike in changing weather conditions. (The Trollstigen Trail is a fully wheelchair accessible, 48-inch wide trail with a maximum grade of 3%. It has two resting spots along the short trail.)
Cover new ground in the winter on snowshoes, Nordic skis, dog-sled or fat-tire bike.
