The Gondola

How great will it be to catch the new seasonally operated 8-passenger BreckConnect gondola from your residence at Crystal Peak Lodge to town? Or to quickly link to other lifts around Breckenridge Mountain? Scheduled to begin running in winter 2006/07, the BreckConnect gondola will also whisk passengers from town to the Peak 7 and 8 base areas. Owners at Crystal Peak Lodge will enjoy a journey that takes about 10 minutes and showcases wonderful views of the Ten Mile Range, the slopes, town and breathtaking Colorado scenery that includes Cucumber Gulch, 77 acres of wetlands that was recently designated a wildlife preserve. The BreckConnect gondola is the perfect way to get around.
