Copper Mountain sits right off I-70 in Summit County, about 75 miles and 90 minutes west of Denver. We handle the highway and the snow so you step out at the base ready to ski.
Ways to get from Denver to Copper Mountain
Copper sits right at I-70 exit 195, one of the easiest mountain resorts to reach from the airport. Here is how the options compare.
Private car service, door to door
Ride from Denver International straight to the base in a private SUV or Sprinter van, just your group and a professional driver. We track your flight, meet you at baggage claim, and head up I-70. The trip home is timed to your departure.
Shared Shuttle
Shared shuttles head up the I-70 corridor from Denver airport toward Copper Mountain on a fixed schedule. You share the van and make stops along the way, so plan on a longer trip than a private ride.
Rent a Car
You can rent a car and drive yourself to Copper Mountain. That means I-70 traffic, mountain weather, parking, and snow on the car, which is a lot to manage after a long travel day.
The Bus
Public buses such as CDOT’s Bustang run the I-70 corridor a few times a day. They are budget friendly, but they follow set schedules and drop you in town, not at your lodging.
Uber and Lyft
Uber and Lyft sometimes serve Copper Mountain, but mountain drivers are limited and prices surge when it is busy. A ride home can be hard to find, so book ahead if you go this route.
Getting to Copper Mountain
Copper sits right at I-70 exit 195, which makes it one of the most direct resort transfers from Denver International. The resort is laid out in three connected villages with true ski-in, ski-out lodging, plus Woodward for parks and tubing. Because the base is so close to the highway, transfer times stay short even on busy weekends.
