16th May 2016 – With the trend for 3G holidays - multigenerational (genevacation) holidays - continuing to be an increasingly popular way to travel for UK holidaymakers, Breckenridge in the heart of Colorado is encouraging families to 'Breck Together' this summer; to bond over the great outdoors and build lifelong memories.

Thanks to its high-altitude location, Breckenridge boasts a perfect blend of adrenalin-filled and relaxed paced activities, ensuring there is plenty for all the family to enjoy in each other's company, from gentle hiking routes to exhilarating white-water rafting available for all levels.

This summer, Breckenridge Tourism Office is encouraging UK families seeking a mountain break to discover why they should 'Breck Together' for the best genevacation yet.

Make a Splash Whitewater Rafting
Breckenridge boasts beginner raft trips tailored for children as young as two years old, which still include a few splashes but are mostly a calm cruise showcasing local scenery and wildlife. An experienced guide can effortlessly make a trip memorable as they share local knowledge, run the best parts of the rapid and help everyone feel comfortable. Tours can be geared towards adrenaline junkies looking to make their hearts pound too. For more information, visit: www.gobreck.com/on-the-water/rafting.

Dig for Gold on a Treasure Hunt
A little gold panning helps get the whole family into the spirit of discovery. Breckenridge, once a mining town, now offers daily tours including gold panning lessons so children and adults can experience what it was like to be a Colorado miner. Any gold found can be taken home as a valuable souvenir and, to add to the excitement, the Country Boy Mine fires up old drills so travellers can hear, see and smell what it was like to be in a mine over 100 years ago.

Join the Cool Kids at The Breck Summer Fun Park and Breckenridge Skate Park
