Frequently asked questions

What is the elevation of Breckenridge in feet and metres?

Breckenridge is at 2,958 m, or 9,704 ft, above sea level, read at a point within 500 m of its centre whose height is the median of the area. Within 5 km of the centre the ground runs from 2,827 m to 3,722 m.

Is Breckenridge at high altitude?

Yes. At 2,958 m (9,704 ft), Breckenridge is above 2,500 m (8,200 ft), the height from which altitude sickness becomes common for visitors who arrive from low ground in a day.

What is the highest point near Breckenridge?

Within 5 km of the centre, the highest ground is 3,722 m (12,211 ft) at 39.47317, -106.09485. The lowest is 2,827 m (9,273 ft) at 39.52572, -106.04771.

How is the elevation of Breckenridge measured?

From the Copernicus DEM, a 30 m elevation model made from satellite radar between 2011 and 2015. It includes roofs and trees, so the figure is read at the point whose height is the median of 121 points within 500 m of the centre, rather than at one point that may fall on a building.
