Stashed among the highest concentration of 14,000 foot peaks in North America, Telluride's spectacular scenery is undeniably some of the most beautiful in the Rockies. But the breathtaking views are just a part of what makes Telluride stand out among mountain destinations.

Historic buildings, quaint bakeries and local watering holes blend with luxury hotels, five-star restaurants, sophisticated shops and some of the finest spas in the world. There's no traffic or long lines for shuttle buses, and in most cases no driving after you've arrived, as Telluride's free gondola is the main source of transportation.

Adding to Telluride's reputation for legendary terrain, the resort is thrilled to announce the opening of Black Iron Bowl. This hike-to playground is set against the dramatic backdrop of Palmyra Peak, adding eight runs adjacent to Prospect Bowl, including the wide-open Mountain Quail couloir, European-style faces, open glades and steep chutes.
