Telluride
offers an experience unlike any other place... let 14,000ft
peaks welcome you into a box canyon setting and find a century old town
filled with colorful legends and an indomitable Southwest Colorado spirit.
The
majestic peaks of the San Juan Mountain rise from the valley floor and
dwarf the charming town of Telluride. Just eight blocks wide and twelve
blocks long, Telluride was designated a National Historic Landmark District
in 1964.
Telluride’s
heritage is apparent as you stroll by Victorian homes, mining landmarks
and historic buildings along Main Street. Today,
town bustles with cosmopolitan flavor found in a variety of top restaurants,
art galleries, boutiques and more.
Take
the free scenic gondola from town, the only transportation system of
its kind in North America, and head to Mountain Village, the hub of
winter activities. From the top of the gondola, capture views of Mt.
Wilson, San Sophia Ridge, and Palmyra Peak. Elegant with European charm,
Mountain Village is home to Telluride Ski & Golf Resort, a variety
