Telluride is a year-round haven for outdoor enthusiasts, thrill seekers, art buffs, music lovers and more. In winter, most flock to the San Juans for the skiing, heading for the hills virtually upon arrival. The downhill skiing and snowboarding on the Telluride Ski Resort is world class, and surrounded by some of the most spectacular alpine scenery in North America. There is also snowshoeing, Nordic and skate skiing, snowmobiling, ice climbing, ice skating, ice hockey, and heli-skiing with Helitrax, the only helicopter ski outfit in Colorado.
In summer, the sports may change, but the backdrop is just as stunning. Telluride is known for its trail running, hiking, mountain biking, fly-fishing, kayaking, rafting, rock climbing, Jeeping, hang gliding and paragliding, horseback riding, and golfing on the Telluride Golf Course.
The region features countless concerts and summer festivals, dance and theater performances, and art shows. Telluride and Mountain Village are also full of fine shops, superb restaurants, art galleries, and spas.
