Your Guide to Winter Park Express
Ride the Winter Park Express from Denver Union Station to Winter Park Resort during ski season.
Running January through March, you can sit back and relax on weekends and holiday-Mondays knowing that you're avoiding I-70 traffic and enjoying a stress-free scenic route that rolls through the historic Moffat Tunnel arriving at the base of Winter Park Resort at 9am, the perfect time to hop on the gondola or ride a chairlift up to ski or simply enjoy the base area Village and downtown Winter Park.
No car? No problem! Once you get here The Lift will get you around, it's our free local shuttle running from 7am to 2am in-and-around Winter Park and Fraser including Winter Park Resort.
