Skiing is our love language, and what could be more romantic than Valentine’s Day in a dreamy, snowy winter wonderland. Snuggling on a 2-seater chairlift in Steamboat. Cozying up by the firepit after ice skating in Beaver Creek village. Or gliding through the sparkling snow on a sleigh ride in Breckenridge.
For an elevated Valentine’s Day, skip the flower shop, think outside the box (of chocolates), and whisk your sweetie away for a romantic, albeit adventurous, getaway in Steamboat, Vail, Beaver Creek, or Breckenridge.
The dark clear sky, the bright stars - Colorado's night skies are perfect for romance. We've gathered some of our favorite ways to enjoy the evening with our loved ones.
Bask in the Glow - Bring your favorite couples along and book a private snowcat skiing tour with Steamboat Powdercats. Treat yourselves to the add-on “alpenglow experience” where you can take a couple extra runs and enjoy the powder during "The Golden Hour" when the sky lights up with shades of gold, orange, red and pink.
Sleighride Dinners - Take a sleigh to a cozy on-mountain cabin for a romantic candle-lit dinner. We propose Allie's or Beano's Cabins in Beaver Creek or Zach's Cabin in Bachelor Gulch.
What's romance without some heat? When you're in the snowy mountains, our favorite ways to heat things up are long luxurious soaks in hot springs and hot tubs.
Soak in the Hot Springs - Forget the jewelry, Strawberry Park Hot Springs is one of the real gems of Steamboat: 104 degree naturally fed hot springs pools that are tucked into the mountainside. The most magical time to go is after a day of skiing just as the sun is setting, or even once it gets dark when you can look up to a starry night sky. Remember to make a reservation ahead of time and book a massage to enjoy before your soak.
Relax in Your Private Hot Tub - Many of our luxury vacation homes feature private hot tubs where you can relax and unwind with the snow softly falling around you, or with the stars glittering above you on a clear Colorado night.
Soar Above it All - There's something so romantic about floating above the valley with spectacular views of the surrounding mountains. Romance is in the air when you're flying high in a hot air balloon with Wild West Balloon Adventures in Steamboat.
Date Night - You can't go wrong with dinner for two. Here are our favorite romantic restaurants:
- Vail
- Beaver Creek
- Steamboat
Cozy up by the Fire - Is staying in more your style? In a Moving Mountains luxury chalet, how could we blame you? Our residences are spectacular and can be so romantic, with gorgeous views and cozy fireplaces. Book an in-home massage for two, order in charcuterie (a couple favorites are Meatbar in Steamboat and The Grazing Fox in Vail) and pop the bubbly!
With luxury vacation rental homes Breckenridge, Vail, Beaver Creek, and Steamboat, we’ll move mountains to make sure your romantic getaway is perfect!
