    It was so much fun to ride in. We sat through the whole ride without ever having to get off until we made our way back to where we originally got on. But there are plenty of stops along the way. The scenery was amazing. It began to snow while we were on there. They have a restroom waking distance from the nearest Gondola.

    Free gondola ride. Need to pay for parking $10. It is fun riding the gondola with your friends and family. Once you get to the top there are a lot of paid activities and restaurants. We enjoyed super chair ride to peak 8. Sometimes rides will be closed due to lightning.. visited in July

    If you are visiting the area this is a great activity, the gondolas are very comfortable and well kept, you get a beautiful view all the way, there was no lines when we went, everything was smooth. And it’s free!!! Although when you get to the top …the money that you saved will go fast!!

    Great views and easy trip up the slopes. We even had some red foxes hanging around the water while we were getting ready to go up the mountain. The kids loved it. Make sure to bring your own water. None of the concessions were open when we went later in the day.

    It was a fun trip to go up into the mountains. The ride is free, seems like it is busiest during the morning and weekends. We didn’t get out but the views were spectacular and the gondolas are fully enclosed. A little disappointed that the views were a little obscured by scraps from the ski equipment. Overall a great trip just to relax and take in the views.

    Free in summer (don't wait in the ticket line unless you need to purchase attractions at the summit!), dogs welcome (amazing!), and the employee who boarded us remembered my pup's name and said hi an hour later when we came down. Oh, and beautiful views plus great trail access. : )

    Great way to get up to all the fun in Breckinridge!!!! In the summer there are lots of fun things to do on top (for a hefty price). This is a free service !!!!

    This is AWESOME to connect from Breckenridge up to Peaks 7 and 8! As our visit was in summer, this provided great access to hiking and to several good food options.

    Pros: (1) It’s free (2) It’s a bouncy ride Cons: (1) Can get a bit hot inside the gondola in the summer (2) Some of our group got motion sick on it (combination of movement plus heat in the summer)

    If you want a magnificent view and have never seen a ski resort area I highly recommend taking this Gondola. It is an incredible sight to see and fun experience. The staff is really kind all throughout the ride as you stop two times before reaching the top. I went in December 2nd and it was free. It's about 15 mins up. I recommend paying online for an hour of parking to explore a little and to grab a coffee at the resort. It was only a few cents. If you plan on spending more time there you can select the hours you will be there.

    Excellent experience. Just walk up and get on. My wife and I had it to ourselves on the way up and back. Beautiful views. Too bad the plexiglass was so scratched up. Still, a must do while in Breck whether you are skiing or not.

    The BreckConnect Gondola is a free gondola ride that serves 2 stops along the way to the main village (where the ski area is) . The staff were great and friendly, and it’s conveniently located from the ski area and parking lot. Worth the ride.

    Breck is such a beautiful town. If you have the opportunity to go there, definitely go !

  • 5/5 Fallon D. 5 months ago on Google
    I'm not one for roller-coasters, ziplines or anything else life threatening 😅, this gondola ride tool my breathe away a few times for the beauty and straight fright 😆. The town's modes of transportation really helped us, being a family of 22 vacationing there.

  • 5/5 Lily C. 8 months ago on Google
    We went during the summer and rides were free. The view was so nice, some of us enjoyed some extra rides just for the fun of it.

  • 5/5 Abhishek Y. 1 year ago on Google
    Service looks good. I visited twice but both time gondola was closed. In September due to technical issue, in October due to off-season.

  • 5/5 Weston T. 1 year ago on Google
    Spectacular views of Breck! Super helpful Gondola crew. If this is your first time in Breck you have to ride the Gondola all the way up and down!

  • 5/5 Andrea D. 1 year ago on Google
    Lots of easy runs, no crowds in April, beautiful snow and really good and clean restaurants. Fantastic ski experience with the family.

  • 5/5 Shehnaz S. 11 months ago on Google
    Absolute must visit whenever we visit Breckenridge. Even to this day I feel the same fascination I felt riding it for the first time. Its not much crowded, easy hopping and I love watching people and kids skiing.

  • 5/5 Adriana M. 1 year ago on Google
    My experience her was the best! I will say to get there before 10:30 to get a good parking spot. Also the parking is $25. But the beautiful free gondola ride was worth every bit of it. The scenery was immaculate and well kept. Highly recommend!

    What an awesome experience! We drove to Breckenridge just to ride the gondolas. We couldn't believe how long the ride was. And it was FREE! During the summer the gondolas are free generally up until Labor Day which is around 5 September. What a cool experience and everyone was so nice and friendly. Thank you for making our day next level awesome!

    Wow!! Fun!!! Beautiful!!! Our summer ride was amazing. No crowds for mid July, beautiful lush green scenery and wildlife galore. At the top/end of the gondola we took the open ski lift to the top of #8. WOW AGAIN!! Great hiking at 11,000+’ and saw two antlered mule deer just 20 yards off the trail. They just kept grazing as we took pix and hiked past. Also stopped at the lodge for a snack and drink which was also nice. Saw moose and deer on the way back down so we jumped off the gondola at the middle station , got back on going up to see it all again then back down again……kinda like a Chinese fire drill every time we you want to change direction. So fun!!
