Telluride Adventure Center

Guided snowshoe tours depart from the base of the gondola in Mountain Village, where expert naturalists lead groups through Telluride’s winter landscape. These tours highlight local flora and fauna, accommodating various ability levels with options for both private and group bookings. For those seeking higher altitude thrills, Telluride Helitrax offers guided heli-skiing and snowboarding across over 200 square miles of untracked terrain in the San Juan Mountains. The service utilizes Eurocopter AS350 B3e helicopters, chosen for their high-altitude performance and reliability in all weather conditions. Cross-country skiing enthusiasts can choose from guided or self-guided trails ranging from beginner to advanced, located in Mountain Village and at the top of the Sunshine Express Lift. The nearby Telluride Nordic Center, situated in Town Park, operates as a nonprofit dedicated to enhancing Nordic skiing for all ages. Backcountry snowmobile tours provide access to historic mining ghost towns and views of the highest concentration of 14,000-foot peaks in North America. Advanced reservations are required or strongly advised for all winter activities, ensuring visitors secure their preferred experiences in the San Juans.
