Ski Breckenridge
A trip in the winter to Breckenridge would not be complete without experiencing our mountains! The Chateau Sole' is located 7 minutes from the base of the ski area where you can park and ride the Gondola up to the Lifts.
This makes Chateau Sole ideal for guests who wish to ski and then come back to home for lunch. Enjoy the home's 2 custom-built laundry rooms, to hold and separate all of your ski gear. Keep your car warm at night in the large 2-car heated garage, no getting up and getting into a cold car!
