About Telluride
We chose to get married in Telluride, Colorado, because of the beautiful nature, the fun activities, and the sense of peace. This area encompasses God's creation in many unique ways.
Our Destination
Telluride is a former Victorian mining town in Colorado’s Rocky Mountains.
Elevation: 8,750′
Population: 2,426
Two Towns. One Amazing Experience.
It is a place of legend, nestled at the end of a lush canyon and surrounded by 13,000 and 14,000-foot peaks. The summers are full of cultural events and endless outdoor activities. Telluride is embraced for its authentic mountain character, unpretentious attitude, and celebration of four seasons of adventure.
Town of Telluride
The town of Telluride is just eight blocks wide and twelve blocks long along the valley floor. Because of its significant role in the history of the American West, the core area of Telluride was designated a National Historic Landmark District in 1964. The sites are so special that they are eligible for consideration to become national parks. With the town's colorful Victorian-era homes, clapboard storefronts, boutiques, art galleries, gourmet restaurants, historic buildings, and more, Telluride is a delight to explore. The citizens are committed to preserving Telluride's historically significant architecture, open space, traditional design elements, and, most of all, Telluride’s small-town mountain lifestyle.
Mountain Village
Mountain Village is perched above the valley floor at 9,500 feet, providing access to the Telluride Ski Resort and Uncompahgre National Forest. The Town of Mountain Village was founded in 1987 and includes approximately 2,100 acres of rolling aspen and spruce-covered mountainsides. This European-style village allows for guests to experience the best of everything in the Telluride region.
The two towns are connected by a free, scenic gondola. Exploring both Telluride and Mountain Village is easy with the convenience of the gondola.
The Gondola
The towns of Telluride and Mountain Village are linked by a 13-minute ride on a free gondola. This popular scenic attraction provides access to hiking and biking trails in the summer. Passengers can load the gondola in either Mountain Village or Telluride and ride to the midway point (Station St. Sophia from which hiking and biking are accessed) and then continue on to the other side.
It offers a front-row seat to view all of Telluride from 10,500 feet. The ride from Telluride to Station San Sophia has an elevation change of 1,750 feet; the ride from Station San Sophia to Mountain Village has a 960-foot conversion. The gondola runs daily from 6:30 a.m. to midnight during summer.
The gondola has three primary stations where you can board and unload:
- Station Telluride (Oak Street) – access in Telluride
- Station St. Sophia (mid-mountain stop) – access to Allred’s Restaurant & Bar, The Ridge Club and biking and hiking trails
- Station Mountain Village – access in Mountain Village
- Just across from Station Mountain Village, a shorter gondola stretch connects to Station Village Parking, where the free parking garage, Town Hall and the Mountain Market are located.
Handicap-accessible cabins are available, as well as pet cabins for well-behaved animals on leashes. Please ask a gondola attendant for help boarding; they can slow down the cabins for those with strollers, wheelchairs, etc.
In the summer, bike racks are mounted on the exterior of the cabins, and gondola attendants help load bikes.
Gondola Facts
