Ride The Amtrak Winter Park Express Train

All aboard the Amtrak Winter Park Express — the easiest way to travel between Denver and Winter Park. The ski train is back for the ski season, and with low fares, it's the most economical way to get yourself out of the city, and into the mountains.

While on board, you'll enjoy a trip in Coach class — featuring wide, reclining seats with a big picture window, ample legroom, and no middle seat. Be sure to visit the bi-level Sightseeing Lounge — offering panoramic views of the Rocky Mountains and Moffat Tunnel upstairs and café service with snacks and drinks for sale downstairs. Pack your skis, and feel free to use them as one of your allowed carry-on bags for no additional charge. All skis will be placed in a dedicated baggage storage upon departure to allow for plenty of legroom and space in the cabin.
