Visit Telluride
#1 SKI RESORT IN NORTH AMERICA
Telluride is a world-class ski resort, winning Condé Nast Traveler's top award many years over. It's come a long way from the quaint mining town it once was, yet still exudes that Old World charm.
There are a lot of ski towns, but there is only one Telluride, and it’s the friendly, laid back attitude of the people here that make this place unique. By the end of your stay, you might find yourself on a first-name basis with ski instructors, fishing guides, cashiers and bartenders.
The town gondola is another aspect that makes Telluride unique. This free, scenic 20- minute ride whisks you back and forth between your residence in Mountain Village and historic downtown Telluride. This is one ski town where a car truly is not necessary!
Uncrowded, stunningly beautiful slopes with a variety of terrain for all abilities will keep you busy in the winter, along with snowmobiling, ice climbing, heli-skiing, ice skating and more.
The only thing better than spending a winter in Telluride is spending a summer! Summer here is marked by mountain hikes, bike and horseback rides, fishing, an exceptional dining scene and small-town charm. Telluride’s intimate, historic theaters and high-tech, modern venues showcase world-class musicians all year, but it’s summer, anchored by two world-class film festivals, when the festival scene ignites.
