This is an experience you can only find here. 14,000-foot peaks rise from a century-old town filled with colorful legends and Rocky Mountain spirit. But the beauty of Telluride ski resort goes far beyond the scenery. It is a wonderful mix of old and new, fun and professional, funky and sophisticated.

Mountain Village provides an elegant mountain community stocked with shops and unparalleled lodging amenities perched at 9,540 feet. The free gondola connects you to the historic town making it easy to enjoy both worlds without ever getting in the car. In Telluride, there's a lot to discover.

The Town of Telluride is nestled in a box canyon enveloped by majestic peaks of the San Juan Mountains. Just eight blocks wide and twelve blocks long, this National Historic District is peppered with colorful Victorian homes, clapboard storefronts, boutiques, art galleries, bookstores, gourmet restaurants, historic buildings and much more. The heartbeat of its illustrious past lives on in Telluride's spirited individualism and community pride.
