Legendary winter sports and summer fun
Winter on and off the Slopes
With more than 809 hectares of incredible terrain, Telluride lives up to its reputation as the most beautiful place you’ll ever ski. The Plunge, Gold Hill and Palmyra Peak offer plenty of steeps and incredible hike-to terrain for experts. See Forever and Prospect Bowl provide the ideal terrain for intermediates, and the gentle, wide-open slopes of Ute Park and The Meadows get beginners off to the right start. With a majority of lodging ski-in/ski-out or within walking distance of the slopes, a car-free experience can easily be had.
A variety of other winter activities in addition to skiing are also available and include showshoe and snowbike tours, snowmobiling, Nordic skiing and sleigh rides.
In addition to outdoor activities, Telluride offers visitors a top-notch culinary experience on and off the mountain. Skiers and riders can enjoy gourmet dishes and fine wines at on-mountain restaurants like Bon Viv
