Breaking Ground and Building the Future: The Ranahan by Welk Resorts

At the groundbreaking, our CEO Jon Fredricks announced the future employee housing units, which are scheduled for completion during Phase I. These units will allow our low-income team members to find affordable housing and a great place to stay, live, and enjoy the area. This project will be vital for the community since Breckenridge has such a small amount of housing to support the people who work hard, day in and day out.

As part of the afternoon’s celebration, Welk Resorts made a surprise $10,000 donation to the Rob Millisor Heart Health Walk in Breckenridge. The walk supports heart health programs in Summit County.

We also celebrated the grand opening of the Gibbs' Barn Preview Center. This center uses some of the latest technology to help guests and Owners preview our beautiful properties, as well as the amazing benefits Welk has to offer.

Located on six acres of a scenic bend in the Blue River and minutes from the world-class Breckenridge Ski Resort, the first phase of resort accommodations is expected to open, weather and construction conditions permitting, in late 2019.

The resort is just a 10-minute ride from the heart of the historic town of Breckenridge; 20 minutes from Frisco and Lake Dillon for sailing, biking and fishing; adjacent to area ghost towns, rail lines and historic mines; across the street from the public Breckenridge Golf Club; next to Summit County’s popular paved recreational pathways system; just over an hour from nearby casinos; under an hour from Vail, Beaver Creek and many other popular ski mountains; and is conveniently about two hours away from the Denver International Airport. The Ranahan has enough area amenities and attractions to pique the interest of any visitor.
