TELLURIDE  |  ELEVATION 8750

As the alpine sovereign over its surroundings, the Town of Telluride is only about one square mile in size, with its nearest traffic light 37 miles away. It’s a spectacular place, paired with an entirely genuine demeanor. Telluride’s picture-perfect Victorian architecture is unassumingly hidden at 8,750 feet beneath the jagged and precipitous San Juan Mountains.

Its sophistication as a world-class ski resort, threaded with internationally-renowned cultural festivals and events, is disguised behind a casual, informal persona that even famous personalities love to escape to. 

And its overzealous enthusiasm for the outdoors and close-knit, progressive community are both fronted by small-town charm where familiar faces constitute virtually everyone. Although Telluride’s resident population is only about 2,500, those who visit once, or live here part time, could likely attest that many more would love to call it home.
