Discover Colorado’s Best Kept Secret

Notable runs for beginners include Ute Park and the nearly 5-mile Galloping Goose trail. For intermediates, don’t miss the popular See Forever run, a long ridge with never-ending views that takes you all the way back to Mountain Village. Experts will have a field day with iconic runs like The Plunge and Bushwacker, which boast a whopping 2,100 feet of total bliss. Of course, you won’t get enough of the magic that is Revelation Bowl and Prospect Bowl.

Day 3: Ride the foodie excursion

Discover the taste of Telluride with on-mountain dining that features intimate venues like Alpino Vino—the highest elevation restaurant in North America—and chef-driven restaurants like Bon Vivant and Allred’s. Off-mountain offerings range from fine dining, such as the historic New Sheridan Chophouse and award-winning 221 Oak Street, to local faves like Tacos Del Gnar and Brown Dog Pizza.

And that’s not including the après hotspots around the resort. Stop in for a midday après and choose from an array of curated wine lists offered by Bon Vivant and Alpino Vino, or finish off your day at Tomboy Tavern with its lineup of tasty brews and cocktails.

Day 4: Pick an adventure

Those seeking non-skiing activities can choose from guided snowmobiling, snowbiking, guided snowshoeing, ice climbing, or even a snow camp for kids.

For thrill seekers, Telluride is home to Helitrax, one of the only heli-ski operations in Colorado. With over 200 square miles of high alpine basins and summits, the family-owned operation provides a more intimate experience than you’ll find elsewhere.

Day 5: Leave on a high

It’s your last day, so indulge in one of Telluride’s many spas and amenities, as offered by The Madeline Hotel and The Spa at The Peaks Resort. Enjoy a spectrum of spa services from massages, facials and skincare treatments, to wellness therapeutics like hypnotherapy, physical therapy and acupuncture—plus salon and barber services. You can also sign up for yoga or Pilates fitness classes, or just immerse yourself in scenic outdoor heated pools and hot tubs.
