In the previous articles in this series I covered Steamboat and Winter Park in Part 1 and Durango and Telluride in Part 2. Today we're hitting Central Colorado by storm, checking out the Aspen/Snowmass villages and Crested Butte in Part 3 and Breckenridge and Vail in Part 4. If you'd like to see any additional cities added, please by all means, email me!
Breckenridge
Although the lodging, town, and restaurants are spread out over four base areas of Breck, the accessible and most convenient lodging is located near the Breckenridge Outdoor Education Center (BOEC) at the base of Peak 9. The closest options are nearest to the Quicksilver Chairlift, the Village at Breckenridge, which has many accessible hotel, studio, and condo units, and the Beaver Run Resort, which has an impressive 500 rooms, only three of which are not accessible, ranging in size from standard hotel toom to four-bedroom suites. Please note that both of these options are accessible, but not fully ADA compliant.
The Park Avenue Lofts does have ADA units in one and two-bedroom lofts, some with a private hot tub.
In the summer months when driving isn't an issue, there are several hotels only 10 miles away in Frisco such as the Holiday Inn, Ramada, and Alpine Inn that also have fully ADA compliant rooms.
Vail/Beaver Creek
Thanks to some dedicated work with Vail Adaptive and Axs Vail Valley, most major hotels in the Vail corridor are accessible. In Vail, the Marriott Mountain Resort has 14 ADA compliant rooms and a whopping five accessible restaurants. Vail Cascade Hotel offers four ADA rooms, and the Lodge at Vail has four with roll-in showers, bath benches and hand-held showerheads are available upon request. For those wanting a taste of Swiss old country, the Sonnenalp has one accessible room.
In Beaver Creek, visit the Charter at Beaver Creek, with accessible condos, the Hyatt Regency with ten ADA rooms, or the Inn at Beaver Creek with one ADA unit.
