Forty-five minutes from the nearest stoplight, at the end of a towering canyon sits Telluride, Colorado at an elevation of 8,750′. Telluride is a national landmark surrounded by the highest concentration of 13,000’ – 14,000’ peaks in the United States. Above the historic mining town of Telluride is a modern mountain village, connected by a free pedestrian gondola, the only one of its kind in North America.
RESORTS IN THE AREA
While the ski terrain is world-renowned, the resort is truly defined by a collection of unique, intimate, and unmatched elements. From the exclusivity of the Tempter House to the luxurious cuisine and fine wines of Allred’s and Alpino Vino, you’ll find these experiences are as one-of-a-kind as the San Juan Mountains that surround them.
Unlike any other resort in North America, Telluride’s location and size allow guests to revel in a peaceful atmosphere, where lift lines are nearly non-existent, and the people are genuinely friendly. Whether you are an experienced skier, or a first timer, Endless Turns can organize the perfect Telluride vacation for you!
Developed in 1985, the Telluride Resort mountain village sits at 9,545′ in elevation.
