 Telluride
Resort, Colorado - A charming former mining town,
Telluride is a place of spectacular scenery and often daunting
terrain. All this comes without lift lines, since Telluride's
southwestern Colorado location places it far from any major
city. As with several of the big western US resorts, this
is a tale of two bases - the original historic town of Telluride
and the modern, slopeside mountain village. The latest attractions:
a unique three-stage gondola connecting town and the mountain
village, and the new Mountain Village Activity Center .
The network of a dozen lifts includes
two high speed quads and one high-speed, three-stage gondola
transportation system with two legs for mountain access.
Telluride offers free, guided mountain tours for intermediates
and experts.
Off the slopes, Telluride boasts over
40 restaurants and bars, with everything from burger joints
and Mexican food to top-of-the line bistros and classic
American, Italian, and French cuisine. For live, late-night
entertainment, check out the Fly Me To The Moon Saloon on
Telluride's Main Street. Disco night with DJ Harry is also
a local favorite.
