Crested Butte is located in southwest Colorado, within the Gunnison National Forest and the Elk Mountain Range of the Colorado Rocky Mountains. The resort lies in the town of Mt. Crested Butte, just three miles from the historic town of Crested Butte.
The definition of a "butte" is a mountain that stands separate and distinct from others. (It's a good description for the resort, too!) Ask people visiting Crested Butte, and words like authentic, exciting, genuine, unpretentious and fun come up again and again. It's the perfect place to disconnect---and reconnect with family and friends.
Crested Butte is home to Colorado’s Best Corduroy™, and to the most lift-serviced extreme terrain in North America, complete with mini terrain parks for kids, humongous parks and pipes for the airborne crowd, bumps, glades, and groomers are here aplenty! They have NASTAR racing, adaptive programs, kids-only trails, and psycho-only trails…

The town boasts one of Colorado's largest National Historic Districts, with charm impossible to convey in words.
