Telluride Winter Activities

Telluride is more than just a fabulous ski resort. Check out our variety of both indoor and outdoor winter adventures.
  • Ice Skating

    There's not one, but two ice rinks in Telluride, and one in Mountain Village, which makes a total of three in the area. The Telluride iconic Town Park has both an outdoor rink and the Andy Hanley Ice Rink/Pavilion (inside rink). If you haven't ice skated outside before, you must. If conditions are sufficient, the outdoor rink offers stunning skating (and memories to last a lifetime - for the whole family) surrounded by snow-capped mountains. For Town Park Public Skating hours, call 970-728-2173.
  • Nordic Skiing

    In the winter months, one of the best ways to explore the area is on Nordic skis. Telluride boasts miles of trails for your Telluride ski vacation enjoyment; some of our favorites are the Valley Floor Loop and Town Park. The Valley Floor Loop is a 6-km loop of beginner terrain winds along the Valley Floor one mile west of town. This loop may be accessed from the San Miguel River Trail (heading west), or from behind the Shell station on Hwy. 145.
  • Sleigh Rides

    Sleigh rides always conjure up images of the holiday season - beautiful Clydesdales plowing through powdery snow… Although imagery and reality sometimes conflict – sleigh rides are available in Telluride and Mountain Village through a few different options…and both offer a fun experience.
  • Snowmobiling

    Experience winter beauty in a new way! Treat yourself to some spectacular scenery and an exhilarating ride with a snowmobile tour during your next Telluride ski vacation. A snowmobile tour is a great way to take a break from skiing or snowboarding for a day and will also give you an unforgettable scenic and educational tour of the Telluride region.
  • Snowshoeing

    Snowshoeing through the majestic landscape of Telluride makes for a beautiful, leisurely hike and also helps you work up an appetite. It is a great way to take a break from skiing or snowboarding for a day, while experiencing the region's fantastic scenery during your Telluride ski vacation.
  • Spa-Massage-Yoga

    After anything from mild to strenuous activity in our fresh alpine air, the perfect follow-up is the luxury of a little pampering.
