In spite of its small-town atmosphere, Telluride is home to some truly world-class shopping. You can find everything and anything you could need and want: ski and outdoor gear, books, jewelry, home furnishings, toys, flowers, kitchen goodies, clothing of all sorts, art, even treats for canines and felines.

Say you’re looking for a new board or skis this season, maybe a new mountain bike, a fashionable, yet functional down jacket, or a few pairs of cozy long undies? Telluride Sports, Boot Doctors, and Paragon Sports are the places to go. Or perhaps you promised your mother-in-law some truly authentic cowboy boots from the Wild West: Bounty Hunter and Black Bear Trading Company carry beautiful inventory with plenty of great options. Thinking about some art to add to your collection, or a stunning piece of studio jewelry for that upcoming 10^th anniversary? Try the Telluride Gallery of Fine Art, Dolce Jewels, or the Schilling Gallery. There are also great gifts, toys, and kids clothes at Star; beautiful home furnishings at Picaya and Dakota; and room to dress the whole family at Telluride Trappings & Toggery.
