COPPER MOUNTAIN, CO

Copper Mountain has been a favorite destination for Summit County travelers for forty years. Staying at Copper is a great experience, with three different base areas available for lodging. The Center Village is perfect for families looking for activities. Center Village offers mini golf, a bungee trampoline, go karts, and scenic chairlift rides, making it easy to keep both kids and adults entertained. East Village is home to Copper’s golf course, Copper Creek, making it the perfect place for golfers to stay. West Village offers a bit more solitude; it’s close to the mountain but avoids the hustle and bustle the other two villages can draw. All three villages are close enough to walk from one to the other, but there’s also a free local shuttle service that offers transportation between the villages. Whether you are looking for a studio ski-in/ski-out condo or trying to stay in an executive home, Copper has it all. There are many agencies that can provide lodging for a variety of price ranges.
