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. There is no need to buy a sled – just head over to Breckenridge’s local sledding hill where you can borrow a FREE sled or saucer of your choice, provided right at the base of the hill!
Where Can I sled in Breckenridge?
Get your thrills at one of Breckenridge’s two free sledding hills.
Carter Park
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. And the best part is? You don’t need to bring your own sled! We encourage people *not* to buy any new sleds. Reuse is the new recycle, so instead please utilize and reuse sleds that are placed in the Sled Shed at the base of Carter Park. When you’re done for the day, return the sled to the shed. Parking on-site is limited but bus and lodging shuttles drop-off nearby. Also, 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
The new Runway Sledding Hill on Fraction Drive 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 with a free sled shed! The park is regularly groomed and porta potties are 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.

Where can I get a sled 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 Country, there is also a “sled shed” to take/leave sleds as needed at both Carter Park and Runway sledding hill on Airport Road. However, we can not guarantee there will be a sled available. 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 shed:
