Outdoor winter sports aren’t for everyone. If you’d rather enjoy après-ski than tackle the slopes, The Broadmoor in Colorado offers plenty of appealing alternatives.
Located in Colorado Springs, The Broadmoor is a luxury resort that provides a wide range of indoor and outdoor winter activities. For winter 2022, the resort introduced a falconry hunt, available by reservation through March. Adventurous guests can also experience zip lining at Seven Falls, taking in dramatic views of snow-blanketed South Cheyenne Canyon. For those interested in angling, the resort offers fly-fishing options, from a one-hour casting lesson to full-day guided trips led by expert instructors.

If you prefer indoor relaxation, The Broadmoor’s spa is a standout. The Spa at The Broadmoor offers treatments designed to address cold-weather skin and wellness needs, plus an indoor pool for a soothing soak. Movie lovers can catch nightly screenings and weekend matinees in the resort’s theater, complete with popcorn. For quieter moments, the Portales Library provides a cozy spot to read. Families will find Play—a hybrid restaurant and entertainment venue—especially fun, featuring six bowling lanes along with shuffleboard, pool, foosball, and video game consoles including Xbox, PlayStation and Wii.
Dining at the resort covers a wide spectrum. Winter weekends in 2022 included hands-on cooking classes—Italian cuisine in February and tapas-focused sessions in March—while guests who prefer dining rather than cooking can choose from 17 on-site restaurants and outlets, ranging from casual to fine dining.
Room rates at The Broadmoor vary by season. Winter and early spring nightly rates start around $259, while peak summer rates can reach approximately $555 per night.
