About This Guide

A few weeks in Telluride works for people who ski most days, for remote workers who want a mountain base, and for second-home owners and visitors who stay through the season. The ski area and town are linked by a free gondola, so you can live in one and use the other. The altitude is about 2,670 m (8,750 ft), so plan a day or two to adjust.

Best neighbourhoods for a longer stay

Telluride town: Walkable to groceries, restaurants and the gondola, and the easiest place to live without a car.
Mountain Village: Quieter, with ski access at your door and the free gondola into town in the evening.
Down valley (such as Placerville and Ridgway): More space and often lower rents, but you will want a car for the drive to the lifts.

Good to know

Christmas and New Year weeks are the busiest and most expensive. January after the holidays is a calmer time for a longer stay.
Telluride Regional Airport is about 10 minutes from town. Montrose Regional Airport is about 65 miles away and has more flights.
At 8,750 ft, drink plenty of water and go easy the first day or two.

How we picked: these are apartments and aparthotels in Telluride rated 8 or higher by Booking.com guests, so you usually get a kitchen and more space for a longer stay. Checked in October 2026.
