Christmas is a special time of year for many people to share with family. Getaways and vacations can help you get together with large groups in a central location without the stress of sprucing up your own home. Several resorts in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado offer Christmas getaway packages.
Zephyr Mountain Lodge is in Winter Park, approximately two hours from Denver. In addition to condominium style lodging with one, two or three bedrooms, there are condos with hot tubs, fireplaces, full kitchens and ski storage. Christmas Eve in Winter Park is a festive affair. After sunset, the Torchlight Parade begins, where a procession of skiers with lights and Santa Claus head down the streets singing carols and spelling out a message with the lights. Fireworks are launched after the parade. Christmas packages include lift tickets, lodging, shuttle service from the condo to the lifts and discounted lessons at the ski school.
