Denver International Airport to Winter Park

 

Private car service from Denver International Airport to Winter Park

Denver International Airport to Winter Park is about 90 miles and usually takes an hour and a half to two hours. We run west on I-70 out of the city, exit at Empire, then climb US 40 north over Berthoud Pass and drop into the Fraser Valley. Winter Park is the closest major ski resort to Denver, which makes it the easiest same day arrival of any mountain we serve.

Berthoud Pass is the whole story on this route

Berthoud Pass tops out at 11,307 feet and there is no tunnel under it. The road switchbacks up one side and down the other, which is fine in September and a completely different job in February. This is the highest pass on any route we run and it is the single reason people give up on driving themselves to Winter Park. Our drivers cross it constantly through the winter, the vehicles are set up for it, and if the pass closes we sit it out with you instead of cancelling.

How pickup works at Denver International

Pickup at DIA is curbside. We track your flight against your flight number, so we know when you actually land rather than when you were scheduled to. Once you have your bags, call or text your driver and we pull to the island on the level you are on. No parking garage, no shuttle bus, no standing in a rideshare queue with your ski bag. Private arrivals into Signature or Atlantic are met at the FBO.

What every Winter Park transfer includes

  • Flight tracking against your flight number or tail number, with no charge for delays

  • A free half hour stop on the way, useful for groceries in Empire or Fraser

  • Bottled water, snacks and phone chargers in every vehicle

  • Child seats when you request them in advance

  • Room for skis, snowboards, boot bags and mountain bikes

  • All wheel drive and winter tires, with drivers who cross Berthoud Pass all season

Winter Park, Fraser and the rest of Grand County

The resort base and the town are two different places about two miles apart, and plenty of lodging sits further north in Fraser and Tabernash. We also run out to Granby, Grand Lake and the ranches along US 40, so if your booking address is not at the ski area just tell us where it actually is. In summer this is the gateway to Rocky Mountain National Park from the west side, and we do one way drops for hikers on the Continental Divide trails.
