Telluride Destination Guide

Telluride has some of the most magnificent views in Colorado. Nestled in a valley surrounded by stunning mountains, this understated cowboy-chic town is a unique destination. The gondola provides easy transportation from Telluride to Mountain Village and back (we prefer the ski access in Mountain Village). There are less big name luxury hotels for staying and dining, but this may add to the town's charm.

Pros: Good restaurants, Good shopping, Good for families, Good for couples, Great for beginner skiers, Great for intermediate skiers, Great for expert skiers
