About Telluride

   

Unmatched in North America
Nestled among the highest concentration of 14,000 foot peaks in North America, Telluride’s spectacular scenery is undeniably some of the most beautiful in the Rockies. Historic buildings, quaint bakeries and local watering holes blend with luxury hotels, five-star restaurants, sophisticated shops and some of the finest spas in the world. Telluride’s free gondola creates a ski-in/ski-out town, and the open and friendly locals welcome all to this unique and unmatched mountain destination.

Alpine elegance coupled with historic charm
Telluride effortlessly mingles urban sophistication, historic charm and mountain spirit. The destination offers over 50 restaurants, bars and coffee shops. For après ski try Gorrono Ranch mid-mountain, Allred’s or the turn-of-the-century Sheridan Bar on Main Street. The varied restaurants offer a cuisine culture to rival New York and/or Los Angeles. From romantic bistros and western steakhouses to pizza joints and sushi bars, a delicious option for every taste abounds. A ride to the top of the gondola for breathtaking views and fare at Allred’s Restaurant promises an evening never to forget.

Lodging options range from hotel accommodations to exclusive cabins and vacation homes. For luxury accommodations, arrangements through the new Platinum Properties  offers personal concierge, pre-arrival grocery shopping and much more.

Legendary Terrain
Telluride’s terrain has always been revered as the best of Colorado, and more than 300 inches of snow falls on the 2000+ skiable acres each year. Add 300 days of sunshine annually and a complete lack of lift lines, and epic skiing and snowboarding is born!

Adding to Telluride’s reputation for legendary terrain, the resort is thrilled to announce the opening of Revelation Bowl. This spectacular European-style terrain, located directly off the back side of famous Gold Hill and Chair 14, will be served by a new, locally manufactured Leitner-Poma lift. Situated above tree line, the natural, wide-open bowl offers advanced and expert skiing in an unbelievably scenic setting. The opening of Revelation Bowl is just part of Telluride’s incredible expansion this year. Public hike-to access in Black Iron Bowl, Palmyra Peak and Gold Hill Chutes 6-10 opened to rave reviews in 07/08. All told, the resort has expanded by nearly 400 acres, offering the most stunning skiing and riding on the continent.

Backcountry fans enjoy access into the famed Bear Creek Basin from the top of the resort. Colorado’s only heliski operation, Helitrax, will also fly you up to a 250-square-mile expanse of untouched snow, with terrain suitable for intermediates.
