Fitness Vacations

Spend your summer vacation getting fit by escaping above the heat into the Swiss Alps or Colorado Rocky Mountains for some elevation enhanced exercise along the trails and through the alpine meadows waiting to challenge you.

Colorado has 52 peaks over 14, 000 feet each and a few fitness travelers have shared experiences about trying to reach as many peaks as possible during their trips as a way of motivating their adventure and the fitness adventures.

Breckenridge, CO - Spend your summers hiking through the evergreen and aspen covered trails getting elevation enhanced exercise while enjoying the clean air and the lack of billboards. Breckenridge is a great mountain community geared for an extended summer stay. Many resorts and services are available because of the large amount of winter ski travelers. The smaller amount of summer travelers makes the city quite a gem as a summer travel destination. Breckenridge is very accessible from the Denver International Airport with shuttle service available. The ride through the mountains is worth the price of the shuttle. Your trip to Breckenridge takes you through the continental divide via the Eisenhower Tunnel and then opens to a vast valley (drivers don't have to touch the gas peddle for 8 miles) with the cities of Silverthorne, Frisco and Breckenridge waiting to greet you. Breckenridge boasts a wonderful view of the snow capped peaks of the continental divide. We're working on discounted room rates for extended stay travelers in Breckenridge.
