Nestled at 9,545 feet amongst the San Juan Mountains, Mountain Village is a unique alpine community. It’s the counterpart to Telluride, located just above the infamous town in Southwest Colorado.
San Miguel County, the town has been a self-governing Home Rule Municipality since 1995. The population was recorded at 1,320 residents in 2010. It’s true mountain gem that attracts outdoor enthusiasts from all over.
There is a free gondola that runs year round, connecting Mountain Village with downtown Telluride. You can access the best of both towns by staying in the stunning Mountain Village. It’s also steps away from the slopes and multi-use trails of Telluride Ski Resort.
