Winter in Telluride

Telluride is truly a winter wonderland… as a ski destination, our cozy hamlet also provides a variety of other outdoor sporting opportunities.  Consider taking a day off the world class Telluride ski slopes to enjoy some of these other winter opportunities:

• Sledding in Telluride Town Park on “Fire Cracker Hill” 

• Ice skating in Telluride Town Park on the outdoor pond or indoor Hanley Rink

• Nordic or skate-ski on several groomed trails: Telluride Town Park, Telluride Valley Floor, or 20 minutes out of Telluride at beautiful Priest Lake or Trout Lake on the Galloping Goose railway grade.

• Adventure off the beaten track on snowshoes

• Contact Telluride outdoor expedition outfitters for ice climbing, snowmobiling, and dog-sledding adventures

• Take the gondola to Mountain Village to sip hot cocoa and warm your toes by the public fire pits in the Village Core

• Get a relaxing and rejuvenation hot stone massage by Alessandra Massage, at your location or in my warm and welcoming studio conveniently located in downtown Telluride.

Snowshoes, sleds, Nordic and skate-skis, and ice skates can all be rented at the Telluride Nordic Center in Telluride Town Park in the east end of Telluride.
