Hello from Purgatory at Durango Mountain Resort and welcome to the online Media Room!

We are excited for another fantastic summer season! 

Durango Mountain Resort is a recognized as a top family-friendly, four-season resort.  When the snowflakes stop falling and the grass turns green, DMR is transformed into a place for summertime outdoor fun and adventure, with an alpine slide, zipline, scenic chairlift, hiking trails, mountain bike uplift and trails, climbing walls, ropes course, a bungee trampoline, miniature golf, hiking trails, horseback riding, disc golf and more!  Summers in Durango offer warm and pleasant, sunny days in the beautiful Colorado Rocky Mountains.

And don’t miss the leaf-peeping opportunities when the San Juan Mountains are altered to a colorful canvass by Mother Nature herself and the days are filled with dry air, warm sunshine and crisp evenings.   Autumns at Durango Mountain Resort provide a serene backdrop comprised of brilliant golds, oranges, reds, yellows, and greens for your hikes, bike outings or relaxation between activities.  

Be sure to bookmark this site and use this as a resource for information. More information will be added frequently, including the latest press releases and photos.

If you would like to be put on our media list, or if I can provide you with additional information or images, please don’t hesitate to email or call.

As always, the best way to fully grasp the experience of Purgatory at Durango Mountain Resort is to experience it first-hand. I hope to see you in our little slice of heaven very soon!

Best regards,

Bring On the Summer Fun!

Before we start with a great summer season, thank you for such a fantastic winter! Our CEO, Gary Derck, wanted to share with you his appreciation and you can find his letter here.

We're always on the search for new fun summer activities. This summer, we've added a couple of new activities that you and your family will love! In addition to our popular summer fun adventures, be sure to check out:

Water Runners

This year’s new attraction, Water Runners, will thrill all ages as you safely float, walk, run and roll on the surface of the water without ever getting wet.  Step inside a transparent bubble, close the air-tight zipper and away you go – walking, running and jumping on water – an exciting and fun experience.

Sky Hike Adventure

This new family ropes course is designed specifically for Durango Mountain Resort.  Climb over net bridges, wooden beams, rope ladders and more with this fun, family-friendly obstacle course. You’re strapped into a harness so it is completely safe to use and fun to master!

Get the scoop on our other exciting summer offerings here.

Our reservation specialists can create a custom package for your summer vacation with one quick call to 800-525-0892.

See you soon!
