General presentation
Boulder
University town at the foot of the Flatirons, rich in trails and open spaces.
Boulder's discovery revolves around Flatirons, Pearl Street Mall and Chautauqua Park. The stay thus alternates between urban life, mountain reliefs and natural spaces, which gives a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. The main sites are generally easy to access.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Place indismissible
Flatirons
The Flatirons erect their large, inclined slabs above the Boulder, visible from almost the entire city. At the foot of the walls, the trails climb in pines and dry meadows, quickly offering views of the roofs, foothills and changing light of the Front Range.
Place indismissible
Pearl Street Mall
Pearl Street Mall concentrates the pedestrian life of Boulder, with bookstores, terraces, street musicians, independent shops and low brick facades. The place works well in the late afternoon, when the inhabitants leave work and the mountains remain visible at the end of the streets.
Nature and landscape
Chautauqua Park
Chautauqua Park The site tells a part of American cultural history while serving as a gateway to the mountain, with an old campus atmosphere set on the edge of the slopes. The site is a unique place for the mountain, where the mountain is the most beautiful place in the world.
Nature and panorama
Eldorado Canyon
Eldorado Canyon The trails give access to steep views, the sound of water and the warm colours of the rock, only a few minutes from the sea, and the sea. Boulder but with a clean and tight canyon sensation.
