Telluride - Unmatched in North America

Hidden among the highest concentration of 4,267 metre peaks in North America, Telluride's spectacular scenery is undeniably some of the most beautiful in the Rockies.

Legendary Terrain

Telluride Ski Resort has expanded by over 300 acres in the past few years, including Revelation Bowl and Gold Hill Chutes, offering some of the most stunning skiing and riding on the continent.

Reminiscent of the long, open lines of Alaska, the spectacular terrain of the Gold Hill Chutes drops 488 vertical metres into the Prospect Basin, including faces, couloirs, chutes and rock features all above treeline.

The resort's vertical drop is now one of the largest in North America at 1,349 meters, with 1,172 vertical metres lift-served.

Alpine Elegance coupled with Historic Charm
Telluride effortlessly mingles urban sophistication, historic charm and mountain spirit. Historic Telluride is a picturesque town, complete with mining history, Victorian architecture, and a myriad of options for shopping, dining and nightlife.

Chic, upscale Mountain Village is an Alpine pedestrian village featuring sensational hotels, shopping, spas and easy ski-in/ski-out access.

One of the truly unique things about Telluride is the ease of getting around. The trademark free Gondola takes care of transportation between downtown, Mountain Village and the slopes. No driving necessary!
