Getting to experience the Colorado mountains is a memorable experience. Anyone in Telluride or Mountain Village can tell you that. However, one of the best ways to understand that for yourself is to see it and ski on it. There are some spectacular trails and views nearby The Peaks Resort and Spa. We have a great cross country skiing trail that starts right on the Telluride Peaks Resort and Spa property. So we recommend that you strap on some cross country skis and explore these Telluride cross country skiing trails.
