Winter Park Activities

The Fraser Valley and Winter Park offer a full palette of mountain pastimes and cultural events.

Just an hour-and-a-half drive from Denver, the Wild Horse Inn sits nestled among acres of trees and meadows on a ridge above Fraser Valley - surrounded by the Continental Divide, Rocky Mountain National Park and an infinity of mountains on all sides. You're minutes from your favorite Winter Park activities.

Your hosts, Chris and John, will be glad to help you plan your alpine pastimes. Just ask and we'll fix you a day pack or picnic basket filled with lunch fit for the fittest or finickiest gourmet.

In any season, your visit will be even more special when you add one of our Winter Park vacation package we've put together to enhance your stay.
