Skiing at Telluride: A One-of-a-Kind Experience

Telluride gives off that "American mountain" feel, where you can enjoy the skiing without any pretension or crowds. It is the perfect mix of great skiing, beautiful scenery, and a charming, low-key town atmosphere.

Telluride offers a real unique skiing experience where you can ski directly into the town—something most ski resorts can’t boast. At the bottom of the trails, you'll find shops and restaurants right there, making it easy to transition from the slopes to the town's laid-back atmosphere.

Charming Town, Rich in History

This old mining town is nestled in a stunning natural setting, with historic buildings adding to its charm. It's a sophisticated town with noticeable wealth in the area—Ralph Lauren's ranch is in Ridgeway next town over—Telluride maintains a relaxed, unpretentious vibe, making it feel welcoming rather than exclusive.

Accommodation Options for Every Budget

Whether you're renting a condo, staying in a nearby hostel, or visiting family which we have, Telluride offers plenty of accommodation options. The hotel options outside of town are also a great choice for people looking to stay close without the resort bustle.

Apres-Ski

Beyond skiing, the hot springs are a great way to unwind.

Dining Picks

For food, check out the historic Floradora Saloon for a relaxed bar vibe with great food, and Wok of Joy for delicious Thai cuisine, especially popular for lunch among locals.

Insider Tip

United now flies direct from Newark to Montrose, and Telluride is just over an hour's drive away.
