Nestled within the breathtaking Colorado Rockies, Mountain Village stands as a vibrant pedestrian hub at the gates of the renowned Telluride Ski Resort. Developed in the early 1990s, this mid-mountain gem offers a unique ambiance where the rugged beauty of nature intertwines with an inviting village culture. Visitors can navigate its charming streets effortlessly, with every amenity accessible on foot, complemented by a complimentary gondola that connects to the historic town of Telluride. Experience the thrill of skiing directly into the village, or take leisurely strolls to savor stunning landscapes, boutique shops, and exceptional dining. In Mountain Village, convenience harmonizes with adventure, creating an unforgettable alpine escape that invites exploration.
Getting around Mountain Village
Some of the accessible transportation options are:
Mountain Village is home to North America’s only free public gondola, offering a scenic 13-minute ride between Mountain Village and Telluride. One thing to plan around: the gondola closes for maintenance from mid-April to late May and mid-October to mid-November, so check the schedule if your trip falls during shoulder season. Otherwise, it runs daily from 6:30 AM to midnight, with the Mountain Village Bus and Dial-a-Ride available as convenient alternatives.
