About Telluride

Telluride, Colorado is a charming mountain town located in the southwestern portion of the United States. The town is nestled in a box canyon in the San Juan Mountains and is surrounded by steep forested mountains and cliffs. Originally founded as a mining town in the late 1800s, Telluride is now a popular destination for winter sports enthusiasts and outdoor adventurers. The town's history is rooted in mining, and visitors can explore the historic downtown area, which is a National Historic Landmark District. The town's population grew rapidly in the late 1800s with the discovery of abundant lodes of silver, gold, iron, zinc, lead, and copper. A ski area was developed in 1972, which became regionally and then internationally popular. Today, Telluride is known for its world-class skiing, stunning ambiance, and vibrant cultural scene. The town offers a variety of winter activities, such as skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing, and ice skating. Visitors can also enjoy hiking, biking, white water rafting, and horseback riding against the stunning backdrop of the mountains. One of the unique features of Telluride is the free gondola that connects the town with its companion town, Mountain Village, Colorado, at the base of the ski area. The gondola offers stunning views of the surrounding mountains and is a popular attraction for visitors.
