Route

Over Berthoud Pass to the Fraser Valley

Winter Park is about 90 miles from Denver International Airport and 66 from downtown Denver. The drive takes roughly an hour and 45 minutes from the airport: I-70 west out of the metro, then US-40 north over Berthoud Pass.

Berthoud Pass is the part that matters. It tops out above 11,000 feet with switchbacks on both sides, it is the first thing to close in a storm, and Colorado traction law applies there in winter. It is a very different drive from the I-70 resort corridor, and it is not one to take on in a rental car after a long flight.

Winter Park is the closest major resort to Denver, which is why it fills with weekend skiers, and the Fraser Valley stays busy in summer with mountain biking and the resort village. We run the route year round, in AWD SUVs, with chauffeurs who drive the pass in every condition it produces.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to get from Denver airport to Winter Park?

About 1 hour 45 minutes for roughly 90 miles, via I-70 west and US-40 over Berthoud Pass. Winter storms and weekend ski traffic add time, and the pass can close in severe weather.

Do you drive from Winter Park back to Denver airport?

Yes. The return is about 90 miles and 1 hour 45 minutes. For a morning flight we leave early enough to cross the pass safely instead of racing it.

Is Winter Park the closest ski resort to Denver?

It is the closest major resort to the city, about 66 miles from downtown, which is why it fills up on weekends. From DIA, Winter Park and Breckenridge are within about ten minutes of each other in drive time.

Are your vehicles ready for Berthoud Pass in winter?

Yes. We run all-wheel drive SUVs that meet Colorado traction law requirements, and our chauffeurs drive the pass through the season rather than once a year.

Can you carry skis and snowboards?

Yes. Our SUVs take up to 6 passengers with room for luggage and gear. Tell us how many sets of skis or boards when you book so we assign the right vehicle.

What does the transfer cost?

The total depends on the vehicle, the time and any add-ons, and it is shown before you confirm the booking. Call (720) 388-3100 for a quote on your dates.
