Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Telluride worth the trip?
Telluride started as a mining town and the bones of that are still here, set down in a box canyon with mountains closing in on three sides. It's a real ski town that didn't sand off all its rough edges, and the canyon walls mean the views start the second you arrive.
When should I visit Telluride?
Winter is for skiing and the lifts run accordingly. Summer brings the festivals and the high-country trails open up, and because the town sits high in the San Juan Mountains it stays cool even in July. Spring and fall are quieter if you'd rather not deal with crowds.
What is there to do outside in Telluride?
Skiing is the headline in winter, but summer is when the trails into the San Juans really pay off, with routes leading up to alpine lakes and waterfalls. You don't have to go far. Plenty of good hiking starts right at the edge of town.
What are the big festivals in Telluride?
Two events put Telluride on the map: the Telluride Bluegrass Festival and the Telluride Film Festival, both of which draw people from well beyond the Western Slope. There's plenty more on the calendar through the year, but those two are the ones people plan trips around.
How do I get to Telluride?
You can drive in on Highway 145, fly into the Telluride Regional Airport, or take the shuttle up from Montrose if mountain flights make you nervous. Once you're in town you won't need the car much, since Telluride is small and easy to get around on foot.
