Telluride

45 minutes from the nearest stoplight at the end of a magnificent box canyon sits Telluride, Colorado (elev. 8,750'), a National Historic Landmark surrounded by 14,000' peaks in the San Juan Mountains. Above Telluride is a modern, master-planned resort village connected to Telluride by a free pedestrian gondola, the only one of its kind in North America.
While the ski terrain is world-renowned, the resort is truly defined by a collection of unique, intimate and unmatched experiences. From Tempter House to Allred's and Alpino Vino, you'll find these experiences are as unique as the 14,000' peaks that surround them.
Unlike the mega-resorts in North America, Telluride's location and small size allows for guests to experience a peaceful and intimate atmosphere, where lift lines are nearly non-existent and the people are authentic and friendly. The resort is differentiated by its focus on planned-growth, sustainable practices, and unique high-alpine scenery and experiences.
