Nestled in a box canyon and surrounded on three sides by the spectacular San Juan Mountain range, the Telluride area embodies the history and beauty of the Rocky Mountain West. What began as a mining town more than a century ago has grown into one of the United States' premiere ski and summer mountain resorts.

Telluride, a National Historic Landmark District, rests at the base of the Telluride Ski Mountain. Victorian homes, historic buildings and a rich assortment of boutiques, art galleries, bookstores and gourmet restaurants characterize this delightful town.

Complementing the historic charm of Telluride is the luxurious Mountain Village community, located halfway up the Telluride Ski Mountain at 9,500 feet. Featuring breathtaking alpine views, Mountain Village offers contemporary lodging, stylish boutiques, sophisticated dining and a championship golf course.

A free gondola transports visitors between Telluride and Mountain Village. This incredible, 13-minute ride provides a popular scenic attraction, while eliminating any need for a car during your visit.

Telluride and Mountain Village offer a wonderful mix of old and new, providing the perfect backdrop for enjoying year-round outdoor activities, community festivals, special events and cultural activities.
