Mountain Village Activities
The Uncompahgre Forest surrounds Mountain Village and in winter, it’s a true wonderland. Conifers and bare-limbed aspens glow with fresh snow. The ground is a blanket of pure white, broken only by the occasional footprints of a scurrying critter. The mountains and crisp air echo silence. On the outskirts, one might forget a community exists at all but at the center, the Village Core is bustling. As the heart of Mountain Village, the Village Core is strewn with lights and a festive vibe all winter long. It is the energetic hub amid serene alpine woods, beating to a pulse that bursts with recreation, shopping and pampering opportunities.
Telluride tells a tale of two towns: Telluride and Mountain Village. Often using the names interchangeably, Mountain Village loses some of its distinctive edge—an edge that resides at 9,545 feet above sea level. Part of Mountain Village’s graceful persona is found in the plethora of activities it offers.
SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE
• NORDIC TRAILS
Woven throughout Mountain Village, the Telluride Golf Course Nordic Trail is a beautiful 6K, intermediate track.
• ICE SKATING RINK
An enchanting way to spend an evening is to ice skate under the stars with the majestic San Juans slumbering in the background. The Mountain Village pond is free and open to the public. Rentals available at BootDoctors. Call (970) 728-8954.
• SPA/MASSAGE
Mountain Village’s reputation as a place of tranquility is obvious with a day of pampering. The Golden Door Spa at the Peaks Resort, Inn at Lost Creek Massage Room, and the Himmel Spa at the Franz Klammer Lodge warm, transform and rejuvenate the spirit with an assortment of treatments. From massages, facials, yoga classes to exercise rooms, hot tubs and eucalyptus steam rooms, there is something for
everyone. Additionally, the Peaks offers the Echo2Plus Oxygen Treatment System that nourishes the face with pure oxygen as well as vitamins A, C and E and 87 different minerals, enzymes and amino acids.
• KID'S CORNER
Sometimes kids need a little R & R—rendezvous and recreation. At the Franz Klammer Lodge, every Monday night is pizza and game night; the Peaks’ KidSpa is where kids can take part in the Pioneer Program or Explorer Camps—for guests only.
• THRILL HILL
If you are feeling the need for speed, Thrill Hill is where you should be. Children and adults will enjoy this outdoor tubing activity. Thrill Hill is open from 2:30 - 7:00 pm Wednesday through Sunday.
• DON'T FORGET THE SHOPPING
After a day on the slopes and before an evening on the town, indulge yourself with a little shopping. Stroll into Mountain Village shops and pick something to document your trip or jazz up your wardrobe. Mountain Village offers an abundance of boutiques, sport shops and galleries.
