Looking for an escape from the hustle and bustle of skiing? Perhaps a mellow day that will keep the whole family entertained at zero cost? You’ve come to the right page. Sledding in Breckenridge is an activity for everyone to enjoy.

When it comes to winter activities, tubing and sledding are always a family favorite. A day playing in the snow is a free way to enjoy the outdoors while giving your legs a break from skiing.

Where Can I sled in Breckenridge?

Carter Park

Get your thrills at one of Breckenridge’s two free sledding hills.

The Carter Park sledding hill is free and located just four blocks east of Main Street. It’s a walk-up, slide-down sledding hill that has just the right amount of steepness. Take in amazing views of thew Tenmile mountain range, then head back to town to warm up with a cup of hot cocoa. Parking on-site is limited but bus and lodging shuttles drop-off nearby. Please respect the nearby neighbors of the park, as this is their backyard. Users must avoid others and usage of the Carter Park sledding hill is at your own risk.

Runway Sledding Hill on Fraction Drive

Be sure to check out Breckenridge’s new sledding hill on Airport Road!

The new Runway Sledding Hill is free and located near the free parking lot on Airport Road and along the popular Breckenridge Free Ride bus loop.  The sledding hill is a walk-up man-made hill that is regularly groomed and has porta potties on site. Usage is not allowed outside the fenced-in area and the building of berms, jumps or other features is prohibited. Skis and snowboards are prohibited. Users must avoid others and usage of the Runway Sledding Hill is at your own risk. Parking is available at designated spaces on Fraction Road only.  Both bus and lodging shuttle stops are conveniently located nearby.

Where can I get a sled in Breckenridge?

Sled Shed at the Runway sledding hill in Breckenridge
Swing by the Sled Shed at the new Runway sledding hill to borrow sleds or leave one behind.

In addition to stores around Summit County, there is also a “sled shed” to take/leave sleds as needed at both Carter Park and Runway sledding hill on Airport Road. We can not guarantee there will be a sled available, so we encourage people to rent and return sleds, rather than buy them for one time use. There are several locations where you can rent a sled:

If you’d like to buy a sled for multiple uses, the City Market grocery store is a great option!
