A box canyon in the San Juan Mountains
Telluride is one of the most beautiful ski towns in North America, a Victorian mining town at the end of a box canyon, with Bridal Veil Falls, the tallest free-falling waterfall in Colorado, at its head. Butch Cassidy robbed his first bank here in 1889. Today a free gondola links the historic town with Mountain Village and the slopes above.
Our Telluride collection includes 15 ski homes in the town and in Mountain Village, from historic homes to slopeside lodges with hot tubs and views.
Here is a guide to Telluride.
