ULTIMATE SNOW TUBING PARKS AND HILLS NEAR BRECKENRIDGE
Snow tubing is one of the easiest and most exciting ways to enjoy winter in the mountains—no lessons, and no experience required. It’s fast, fun, and perfect for families, friend groups, or anyone looking to switch things up from the slopes.
While Breckenridge doesn’t have a formal tubing park within the ski resort itself, there are several excellent tubing hills and adventure parks nearby that are well worth the short drive.
Here’s your guide to the best snow tubing parks and hills near Breckenridge—plus local tips on when to go, what to expect, and how to plan a full day of winter fun.
1. Frisco Adventure Park – Frisco, CO
Distance from Breckenridge: 15 minutes
Best for: Families, large groups, visitors of all ages
Frisco Adventure Park is the closest official tubing hill to Breckenridge, and it’s hands-down one of the best in Summit County. The hill is long and groomed daily, and each tubing lane has a slightly different speed and slope profile—so you can test your limits or keep things mellow.
Why it’s great:
- Multiple tubing lanes with varied speeds
- Surface lift (magic carpet) to the top—no hiking required
- Tube rentals included with your ticket
- On-site day lodge and free parking

2. Copper Mountain Tubing Hill – Copper, CO
Distance from Breckenridge: 30 minutes
Best for: Anyone combining tubing with a resort day
Copper Mountain offers a multi-lane tubing hill near its East Village base area, and it’s a great choice if you’re already planning to explore the area or ski for part of the day. The lanes are long, fast, and often allow linked tubes for double the fun.
Why it’s great:
- Well-maintained lanes and a magic carpet lift
- Options to ride solo or connect with a friend
- Easy access to dining and shops nearby
- Snow play areas for younger kids
What to know: Tubers must be at least 36 inches tall. Sessions run in one-hour blocks, and advanced reservations are recommended during peak weeks.
3. Keystone Nordic Center Tubing Hill – Keystone, CO
Distance from Breckenridge: 30–35 minutes
Best for: Low-key tubing and snow play
Keystone's Nordic Center offers a more relaxed tubing experience, especially ideal for families with young children or those looking for less adrenaline and more snowy scenery. While the hill is smaller than others on this list, the peaceful setting and friendly vibe make it a fun stop on a winter day.
Why it’s great:
- Great for young kids or tubing first-timers
- No lift—hike-up hill means built-in exercise
- Less crowded and more casual
- Combine with cross-country skiing or snowshoeing nearby
What to know: Tube availability may vary based on snow conditions. Call ahead to confirm before making the trip.
4. Adventure Point Tubing – Keystone Resort (Dercum Mountain)
Distance from Breckenridge: 35 minutes
Best for: High-speed tubing with mountain views
For a more adventurous tubing experience, head to Keystone’s Adventure Point, located at the top of Dercum Mountain. This tubing hill requires a gondola ride to access and offers some of the fastest tubing in the region, with long lanes, well-maintained tracks, and a thrill-factor that’s hard to beat.
Why it’s great:
- One of the only lift-accessed mountaintop tubing hills
- Incredible views and high-speed lanes
- Great combo with Keystone’s other winter activities
- Evening tubing sessions with lights and music available
What to know: Riders must be 42 inches tall. Gondola access is included with your tubing ticket, but availability is limited—book early.
5. Carter Park Sledding Hill – Breckenridge, CO
Distance from downtown: Walkable or short drive
Best for: DIY fun with a local vibe
While not a tubing hill in the traditional sense, Carter Park is a beloved spot for free sledding in Breckenridge. Bring your own sled or pick one up from a gear shop in town, and spend the afternoon sliding, laughing, and soaking in the views.
Why it’s great:
- Free to use
- Walkable from most downtown rentals
- Dog-friendly and fun for younger kids
- Great way to spend a low-key afternoon
What to know: The hill is open to the public and can get busy on weekends. No tube rentals on site—this is BYO sled or tube.
Tips for Snow Tubing Near Breckenridge
- Book in advance. Most tubing hills require reservations and often sell out during peak periods.
- Dress warmly. Waterproof layers, insulated gloves, and snow boots are essential—even if you’re not skiing.
- Double-check height requirements. These vary by hill, and some don’t allow riders under a certain size.
- Bring a change of clothes. Especially with kids, wet snow pants or gloves can cut a session short.
- Combine with nearby activities. Frisco and Keystone both offer ice skating, snowshoeing, and winter events for a full-day adventure.
