Composed of the town of Telluride and the nearby Mountain Village, the Telluride area offers a unique mountain experience. Telluride villas let you enjoy both sides of this legendary alpine destination in style and comfort.
First founded as a mining town in the 1800s, Telluride maintains much of its old-world charm. Mountain Village was founded atop a sun-drenched plateau on the San Juan Mountain in the 1980s to offer a more resort-like experience.
While the Town of Telluride offers Victorian elegance, Mountain Village is unmatched for its landscapes and outdoor activities. The two are connected via a free scenic gondola that takes about 10 minutes, creating one stunning destination.
