Although Colorado is certainly known for skiing in the winter, there are still plenty of towns that have a lot to offer if you’re not up for hitting the slopes.

Here’s a look at seven towns where you’re sure to have a good time without needing to purchase a lift ticket:

1. Grand Lake

Grand Lake is known for its access to hundreds of acres of backcountry terrain. This allows for great snowmobiling and snowshoeing opportunities, so you don’t have to let the snow stop you from exploring the mountains. In addition, Grand Lake has some high altitude, expansive lakes, which are great for ice fishing, hockey, and skating.

Rocky Mountain National Park and Kaiyote Tours both offer snowshoe tours, where you might get a glimpse of winter wildlife like moose, otters, and ptarmigans. Also, Lively Tours and Talks offers winter tours during which you will learn about wild characters, features, and landscapes of the west side of Rocky Mountain National Park.

2. Estes Park

Although it’s a quaint mountain town, there’s still plenty to do in Estes Park. Surrounded by wilderness on all sides, it’s an excellent place to trek into Rocky Mountain National Park on snowshoes, scale an ice wall, or go ice fishing.

Additionally, the former ski resort Hidden Valley is available to hike or skin to, and the area’s former bunny hill is a great spot for sledding. You’ll also find unique shops, galleries, and more that add to the character and charm of Estes Park.

3. Georgetown

Experience the magic of the season on one of Georgetown’s holiday train rides. Santa’s Rocky Mountain Adventure includes viewing scenic and snowy vistas through the forest and riding over a 95-foot-tall bridge. Santa’s Lighted Forest includes riding through a forest decorated with more than 300,000 lights. Santa joins on both of these train rides.

The Victorian Holiday Celebration and the Holiday Lighted Forest rides both feature Ebenezer Scrooge and his visits from the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future.

4. Breckenridge

Although skiing is big in Breckenridge, there are many other things to do in the town. The town has a beautiful and historic downtown area, with over 200 unique boutiques, shops, and more.

Breckenridge also offers a variety of fun and wintry outdoor activities, including sledding, dog sledding, snowmobiling, fat-tire biking, sleigh rides, and scenic snow cat tours.

5. Frisco/Silverthorne

Centrally located near many ski resorts, the Frisco and Silverthorne area offers lots to do. There are plenty of shops and restaurants to explore on Frisco’s Main Street and throughout Silverthorne.

Additionally, the Frisco Nordic Center is a great place to go tubing or for a sleigh ride, and it has excellent views of Mount Royal and Buffalo Mountain. Or, stop by the adventure center and give cross-country skiing or snowshoeing a try. Frisco and Silverthorne also offer things like ice fishing, dog sledding, and ice skating. Plus, if you’re lucky, you might spot people taking part in the wild sport of ice sailing.

6. Ouray

Ouray offers a huge variety of things to do in the winter, including outdoor reaction activities, as well as more cozy options. While Ouray is home to ice skating, sledding, snowshoeing, and hot springs, many people headed there in the winter are coming for a much more unique experience.

Ouray’s most popular winter attraction is perhaps the Ouray Ice Park, a human-made ice climbing park which includes more than 150 named ice climbing and mixed climbing routes. It spans almost two miles of the Uncompahgre Gorge. The park also hosts the Annual Ouray Ice Festival & Competition, which includes climbing clinics, presentations, and more.

7. Glenwood Springs

Nestled in the Rocky Mountains, Glenwood Springs is known for its hot springs, including Glenwood Hot Springs Resort, Iron Mountain Hot Springs, and Yampah Spa & Vapor Caves. The town also features ancient underground caves and the Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park, which has roller coasters and a canyon swing that overlooks the Colorado River, as well as special winter events.

And if you’re still looking for something to do outside, Glenwood offers snowmobiling, snowshoeing, and ice skating. Glenwood is also home to one of Colorado’s most picturesque lakes, Hanging Lake, which you can still experience during the winter. Or, if you really have the itch to hit the slopes, Sunlight Mountain Resort is a great family-friendly option.
