Ski and board in ultimate style at the prestigious Telluride Ski Resort, then savour the opportunity to ski down to your chalet at the end of the day before heading into the twinkling Mountain Village for an evening of traditional Colorado hospitality. Telluride now offers a Canopy Adventure Centre, where you can zipline, abseil and cross daring aerial bridges.

The light-filled primary living space marries traditional log-clad walls and wooden flooring with modern furnishings. Curl up, fireside, on the plush velvet sofas for a movie on the flat screen while the day's designated chef works their magic in the attractive white and charcoal granite kitchen.
