Tucked in a box canyon surrounded by impressive 13,000- and 14,000-foot mountain peaks, Telluride, Colorado, is full of unique heritage, breathtaking beauty, and fun-filled activities for the whole family. Consistent winter snowfall makes for the perfect backyard with easy access to snowshoeing, fly-fishing, biking, and perfectly groomed cross-country trails day or night at North America’s top-rated ski resort.
And if your idea of an alpine adventure is one enjoyed indoors with a cup of hot cocoa, Telluride has you covered with plenty of opportunities for shopping and pampering. Designated a National Historic Landmark, the charming mining town is an ideal place to enjoy stunning views from the valley floor as you explore the historic buildings that line downtown, which is home to stylish boutiques, gourmet restaurants, and a thriving arts scene.
For sweeping views of the surrounding peaks, be sure to take advantage of the 13-minute free gondola ride up to the delightful town of Mountain Village for even more exceptional shopping and dining options, and of course, an incredible scenic vista.
