12:56 PM LOCAL TIMETelluride is a compact alpine basin and former mining settlement tucked high in the southwest Colorado San Juan Mountains. Around 3,800 feet above sea level, it mixes world-class ski terrain on unmatched vertical drops with a tightly packed town of restored Victorian buildings and cobblestone streets. Summers bring outdoor festivals, mountain biking, and boat-accessible fishing on nearby rivers. Key sights include the historic Town of Telluride, ridgeline ski runs, and the surrounding high passes, but much of the local charm is found in the friendly plazas, sidewalk cafés, and mountain trails accessible directly from the village. The area also hosts year-round events, popular trailhead access for multi-day hikes, and a range of lodging from luxury hotels to converted residences.
