Situated at 9,545 feet in the unrivaled San Juan Mountains of southwest Colorado, Mountain Village was incorporated in 1995 asa European-style ski-in/ski-out, pedestrian-friendly resort with beauty and sophistication. Moreover, it is a perfect complement to its historic sister town, Telluride. With the establishment of Mountain Village, a three-stage gondola transportation system wasinstalled to connect the two towns. This incredibly scenic and environmentally-conscious transportation system allows one to takeadvantage of the regional offerings without the need of a car.

Mountain Village is home base for the Telluride Ski Resort and the town’s business district—Mountain Village Center. The VillageCenter bustles with visitors from all over the world, and is, without question, a sought-after locale with its innately spectacularsetting and royal treatment. In addition, Mountain Village is gaining in popularity due to its expanded recreational amenities andaccess to supreme music and art festivals. All of this, and much more, makes Mountain Village a world apart from other resorts.For more information, visit www.townofmountainvillage.com.
