Telluride is known, foremost, for its striking resort scenery.

Through a combination of dependable yearly snowfall totals, world-class terrain for all skill levels, endless après, and fitting accommodations for the whole family, Telluride has firmly established itself as an icon of the American ski scene. Though the mining in Telluride has come to an end, the mountains are full of adventure. Telluride sits in a box canyon, a valley enclosed by steep, jagged peaks. However, being surrounded by the highest density of 14,000+ foot peaks in North America, it’s easy to forget you’re at a ski resort, and not deep in some wild isolated mountain range after all! Its historical significance is balanced by its newer modern amenities and the closely connected town of Mountain Village. Nestled within the San Juan Mountain Range of southern Colorado, the town is now a quaint reminder of days gone by. This nickname was given to the location for the dangerous mountain journey the Victorian Era miners who settled the town had to endure when finding work in the area. Telluride, or as you may have heard it called “To-Hell-You-Ride”.
