Why we love Telluride… Magnificent, breath-taking Mountains, a rich historical Victorian mining town, unlimited recreation, world class skiing and the sophistication of a world-renowned resort, oh and it’s nestled in the southwest corner of the state so it’s secluded and un-crowded. |

The Town of Telluride While you're here, check out the Historical Museum, clapboard storefronts, Mining ruins, ghost towns, gourmet restaurants, historic buildings, Victorian architecture, oh and don't forget the VIEWS. |

The Town of Mountain Village Mountain Village is the modern complement to the rustic charm of Telluride to create “the best of both worlds” for visitors to this unbelievable mountain retreat. |

| The Gondola…(the best commute in the U.S.A.) Telluride and Mountain Village are linked by a incredible, spectacular, Scenic 13-minute Gondola ride. The best part about the Gondola is that it’s FREE.The “G” as locals call It, is making it easy to enjoy both worlds without ever getting in a car, and it’s environmentally friendly. This popular scenic attraction provides breathtaking views and direct access to hiking and “wicked” mountain biking trails. |
