Telluride

Surrounded by steep forested mountains and cliffs and situated in a box canyon, the picturesque historic town of Telluride offers year round recreation and world-class entertainment.  Located in the four corners region (southwestern Colorado) the once gold mining town found a new gold - evolving into a ski town in the early 70’s when the first lift was installed by the resort. Composed of two areas - the historic town of Telluride and the newer Mountain Village perched above the valley floor offer the best of both worlds.  There are epic views of the San Juan and surrounding mountains in all directions, and many opportunities in which to experience them, including mountain biking, fly fishing, rafting, hiking, or even strolling the streets of the historic town shops, which offer a variety of goods and unique gifts including haute fashion labels, sporting goods, jewelry, books, and one of a kind art. World class slopes offer skiers and snowboarders a variety of terrain including steep, deep, powder filled shoots as well as groomed runs.   Get to know Telluride’s wild west history on a walking tour through the streets.  Visit the Historical Museum for an intimate learning environment and head into the valley to Bridal Veil Falls - the longest free-falling waterfall in Colorado.

With world class lodging, state of the art event space, a community-wide commitment to green practices, breathtaking scenery, abundant recreation, and gourmet dining, Telluride is a premier meeting and event experience. The Telluride Conference Center offers 22,000 square feet of meeting space plus an additional 55,000 square feet of outdoor space in addition to full catering and event planning services.  There are several other venue options in Mountain Village and town including the Ah Haa School for the Arts, the Alta Lakes Observatory, Gorrono Ranch, and even the Historic Sheridan Opera House.  Telluride has a variety of lodging options including hotels, inns, bed and breakfasts, and private homes and condominiums. For a trip back in time stay in town at the meticulously restored New Sheridan Hotel, or something with a more modern twist on a grander scale, stay at The Peaks Grand Heritage Resort and Spa in Mountain Village.
