Location

Copper Mountain sits in the Colorado Rockies, in Summit County near the town of Frisco, deep in the state's continental interior. This is high-alpine terrain, with much of the upper mountain reaching above the tree line.

Getting there

Easy to reach

Fly into Eagle/Vail (EGE), about an hour from the resort by road.

Eagle's flights are limited; many planners fly Denver, about 2h away, for cheaper fares.
