With a substantial layout and sublime location in one of the most desirable parts of Mountain Village, AJ Drive is a superb four-bedroom chalet that welcomes up to ten guests. Decorated to the very highest standard, it's a secluded mountain retreat with a truly breathtaking view of the magnificent San Sophia Ridge. From the chandelier in the master suite to the secluded additional guest house for even more privacy, this is an exceptional hideaway for mountain explorers all year round.

The region surrounding Mountain Village is home to some of the finest skiing in the USA. The upper alpine runs are challenging enough to make them a regular training ground for the USA Olympic ski team. However, if you're not quite at that standard yet, there are plenty of green and blue runs to test your skills and gentle beginner slopes for newbies. Hop on the Gondola, and in a few minutes, you'll be in the historic town of Telluride with its busy bars and vibrant après ski scene.

The first thing you encounter as you walk into this palatial chalet is the Great Room. This enormous living area, with its cathedral-like vaulted ceilings and floor-to-ceiling picture windows, is a masterclass in design fusion. A signature stone fireplace dominates the room, just the place to warm up after a chilly day in the snow. Plush furnishings tempt you to snuggle up and watch the ever-changing moods of San Sophia Ridge from the comfort of your armchair. The formal dining room is delightfully refined, with space for up to six diners. The kitchen is stocked with top-of-the-range appliances that any chef will love, and a sweet breakfast nook is an ideal spot for a morning coffee. French doors open onto an outdoor covered deck with a stone fireplace and al fresco dining, so guests can enjoy the Great Outdoors well into the evening. The bedrooms are soothing with elegant décor and a little sprinkle of extravagance here and there. The indulgent master suite has a private location at the end of the chalet. It offers a soft king-size bed and spa-standard ensuite. A second suite has two spectacular queen-size four-poster beds and incredible views. The entire lower level is taken up with a delightful bunk room with a dramatic stone wall and antler chandelier. Two twin-over-twin bunks provide a cosy retreat for guests, and there's also a foosball table, ensuite bathroom, wet bar and TV area.

AJ Drive also has a self-contained guest house for couples who want a little extra privacy, with a beautiful queen-size bedroom, kitchenette ensuite and private living area. Outside the main chalet, a large patio houses a tempting hot tub, where you can sink beneath the bubbles and watch the mountain sunset bring another day of adventures to a close.
