Live and work in Summit County
Imagine starting your morning with a view of the Tenmile Range and ending it with a paddle on Dillon Reservoir. Frisco sits at 9,075 feet in the heart of Colorado’s Summit County, surrounded by the White River National Forest. Summers bring alpine hikes, fourteeners, mountain biking, fly fishing and meadows full of July wildflowers. Winters bring world-class skiing at Breckenridge, Keystone, Copper Mountain and Arapahoe Basin, with Nordic trails and snowshoeing right from town. A paved recreation path and free Summit Stage buses connect the towns, and Denver is about 75 miles away. Here, you don’t just study altitude medicine. You live it.
