Winter Park to Grand Lake
Grand Lake is approximately 30 to 45 minutes from Winter Park ski area via US-40 north through Fraser and Granby. The drive passes through the upper Fraser Valley and connects to the Grand County trail network — which means the Grand Lake snowmobile trail system is accessible directly from Winter Park on sled if you choose.
For skiers who want to extend their winter mountain trip with non-skiing activities, Grand Lake is the natural complement. A ski day at Winter Park followed by an afternoon check-in at Grand Lake Cabins for snowmobiling, hot tub, and game room is a genuinely full and varied winter day.
Combining Skiing and Grand Lake
Winter Park Resort is one of Colorado's largest ski areas. Staying at Grand Lake Cabins gives your group a base between Winter Park's slopes and Rocky Mountain National Park's snowshoe and cross-country terrain — plus Grand Lake's own 300+ miles of snowmobile trails.
Groups who want multiple winter activities benefit from the Grand Lake cabin base: one property sleeping 12 to 16 guests, 30 minutes from skiing, 5 minutes from snowmobiling, and a private hot tub waiting at the end of every day.
