What
makes a vacation in Telluride so outstanding? The experience begins with the
journey itself. Whether driving or flying, travel to Telluride includes
breathtaking views and spectacular scenery. Direct flights to an airport located
just 10 minutes from town, smooth and scenic roads, and in-town transportation
are just a few of the conveniences.
A
remote boomtown established at an elevation of 8745 feet in the heyday of
Colorado's gold and silver mining era, the Town of Telluride was incorporated in
1878. Unlike other ski resorts, Telluride has never lost its Old West
characteristics. Just five blocks wide and eight blocks long, it is filled with
colorful Victorian homes, clapboard storefronts, boutiques, art galleries,
bookstores, gourmet restaurants, and historic buildings. Great care has been
given to the renovation of old saloons, general stores, and icehouses. Some
have been converted into elegant restaurants, western boutiques, and fine art
galleries. All have retained their authenticity.
Present
day Telluride is home to the Telluride Ski Resort, and there is a new
sophistication to the town. By day, its slope-side location makes it the ideal
ski-in/ski-out mountain town with everything within walking distance. By
evening, charming restaurants, galleries, and night -spots are gathering places
for guests and locals alike.
Telluride is known for its summer and winter outdoor recreational opportunities,
its venues for visual and performing arts, its internationally acclaimed music
and film festivals, and other sport and cultural events.
Telluride is nestled in the spectacular San Juan range of the Rocky Mountains
approximately 100 miles from Four Corners (the intersection of Colorado, New
Mexico, Arizona, and Utah). It is a dynamic community and a place of
incomparable natural beauty.
In
addition to excellent skiing and snowboarding, there are many other great
activities for skiers and for non-skiers. Some favorites are snowmobiling and
snowshoeing, dog sled tours and sleigh rides, ice climbing, ice skating, and
visits to Thrill Hill, an outdoor activity center that offers tubing, snowbiking,
and snowskating.
Hike or mountain bike in the spectacular high country in and around Telluride,
or try mountain and rock climbing, backpacking, and camping. A car
is not needed in Telluride as everything is within walking distance.
Additionally, the Galloping Goose is available for a free ride within Telluride
and "Dial a Ride" offers free transportation within Mountain Village.
A free
gondola runs
continuously from 7 a.m. to midnight (except during the off season) between
Telluride and Mountain Village. The ride takes about 14 minutes with
spectacular views and an optional stop at San Sophia station where passengers
can visit the Nature Center in summer. The gondola accommodates pets, bicycles,
skis, and passengers with disabilities.
Telluride hosts hundreds of events year round. Festivals include the
MountainFilm Festival, the Bluegrass Festival, Wild West, Wine, Jazz, Blues &
Brews Festivals, Chamber Festival, and the world renowned Telluride Film
Festival. There are also the Mushroom Festival and the Nothing Festival,
designed to prove that nothing compares to the festivals in Telluride. There are
also sports events, the colorful Balloon Festival, seasonal celebrations, and
Repertory Theatre.
Take a
mountain hike, a dog sled or sleigh ride, a Jeep tour, or a ride on the
Durango-Silverton narrow gauge railroad. Enjoy excellent
fishing, paragliding and
balloon rides. You
can even view the area from the back of a horse.
In
Telluride there's something unique for visitors of every age. For children there
are seasonal camps and children’s recreational programs. There are special
programs from the Nature Environmental Center, the Telluride Youth Center, and
there are regularly scheduled family-friendly events.
