The gondola ran right along the side of our unit. Although we were there during off season and the gondola wasn't running I can imagine how nice it would be to not have to drive somewhere to catch it. And, it's free. Will take over the mountain into Telluride.

We had a family reunion (45 of us) in the lovely mountain village. Everyone could travel into Telluride anytime without having to get into the car. The ride is beautiful and it created many fun times for us to attend "happy hours" and not have a DD. We walked from our lodging to the gondola and could stop at the... More

The free gondola in Telluride connects the Town of Telluride with Mountain Village. From the time you embark until you disembark, there's nothing but spectacular, jaw-dropping views. We've ridden this gondola for years on our ski trips -- it's got to be one of the finest in the world. The "loaders" at the gondola stations are friendly and helpful, and... More

This is the only free gondola transportation system in the US. It connects the mountain village with the town. It runs until midnight. Rides at night can be very romantic. Get a great view of the town in a dark cabin.

Telluride is one of the only towns with a free gondola that lets both skiers and non-skiers travel between the two main areas. It makes it easy to make dinner or spa reservations in either location and is key to allowing non-skiers in the group to have a full vacation experience.

Hard to believe that anything is free anymore! We took the gondola from Mountain Village down into Telluride. It is a breathtaking ride both at day and at night! The gondola access means you never have to use your car once you get to the resort. So clean, nice and convenient.
