Unmatched in North America
Nestled among the highest concentration of 14,000 foot peaks in North America, Telluride’s spectacular scenery is undeniably some of the most beautiful in the Rockies. Historic buildings, quaint bakeries and local watering holes blend with luxury hotels, five-star restaurants, sophisticated shops and some of the finest spas in the world. Telluride’s free gondola creates a ski-in/ski-out town, and the open and friendly locals welcome all to this unique and unmatched mountain destination.
Alpine elegance coupled with historic charm
Telluride effortlessly mingles urban sophistication, historic charm and mountain spirit. The destination offers over 50 restaurants, bars and coffee shops. For après ski try Gorrono Ranch mid-mountain, Allred’s or the turn-of-the-century Sheridan Bar on Main Street. The varied restaurants offer a cuisine culture to rival New York and/or Los Angeles. From romantic bistros and western steakhouses to pizza joints and sushi bars, a delicious option for every taste abounds. A ride to the top of the gondola for breathtaking views and fare at Allred’s Restaurant promises an evening never to forget.
Lodging options range from hotel accommodations to exclusive cabins and vacation homes. Contact us today for your complete Telluride vacation.

This Just In
The Telluride Ski Resort is thrilled to announce the opening of spectacular Revelation Bowl for the 2008-09 winter season. This European-style terrain, located directly off the back side of famous Gold Hill and Chair 14, will be served by a new, locally manufactured Leitner-Poma quad-lift. Situated above tree line, the natural, wide-open bowl offers advanced and expert skiing in an unbelievably scenic setting.
Descending into the bowl, skiers and riders will be able to choose ridgelines in either direction, offering steeper pitches and rock features on the far sides of the powder bowl. The center touts an expanse of rolling, advanced terrain with a groomed path for cruising.
All told, the resort has expanded by nearly 400 acres this year, offering some of the most stunning skiing and riding on the continent. The resort’s vertical drop is now one of the largest in North America at 4,425 feet, with 3,845 vertical feet lift-served |
