Situated amongst the picturesque San Juan Mountains, Telluride was the scene of Butch Cassidy’s first bank robbery. Experts will love the skiing here, with good moguls and a vertical drop in the order of 960m.
Skiers of lesser skill are not forgotten with a number of intermediate and beginner slopes. Telluride itself offers a good selection of restaurants and bars to choose from. |
