A Quaint Mountain Town with Big Adventures

Nestled in Summit County and surrounded by the Rocky Mountains, Frisco is a charming alpine town known for its welcoming atmosphere and central location. Frisco’s iconic Main Street — often called the “Main Street to the Rockies” — is framed by Lake Dillon and the Frisco Marina to the east, and the entrance to the Eagles Nest Wilderness to the west.

Towering above town is Mount Royal and the Tenmile Range, offering breathtaking views and year-round recreation right outside your door.

Frisco’s walkable Main Street is one of its biggest draws. Guests love the variety of:
