Telluride


"....Simply put, Telluride is the perfect blend of pure mountain splendor, historic charm, world-class skiing, and unsurpassable beauty."
 

Resort

Surrounded by the largest concentration of 14,000-foot mountains in North America, there's nothing quite like the small town of Telluride. This translates into virtually nonexistent lift lines, and slopes all to yourself: steep ones, easy ones, long ones – a mountain for the whole family.

Telluride Ski Resort prides itself on its laid back vibe and hassle free experience. With downtown Telluride and Mountain Village right at the base of the resort, there is no need to leave. All lodging, eating, shopping, skiing and other outdoor activities can be accessed on foot or via the free town gondola. And with the closest traffic light a good 65 miles away and a permanent population of around 2,000, it is easy to find your way around Telluride.

Unlike most ski resorts, beginner and intermediate skiers can ride to high elevations with amazing mountain views.

One of the truly unique things about Telluride is the ease of getting around. The trademark free Gondola takes care of transportation between downtown, Mountain Village and the slopes. No drive necessary!

Telluride combines European-alpine design with the rustic traditions of the Rockies. The Mountain Village boasts a number of restaurants, shops, boutiques, hotels and unmatched views. Overall, you’re in for a relaxed and pampered experience…
