When organic elements meet contemporary interiors, the results can be stunning. Westward Chalet at Westermere is a prime example of this blending of old and new, natural and man-made. A four-bedroomed, premium quality chalet in a highly desirable complex, it welcomes up to eight guests, making it suitable for family groups.

Telluride’s location makes it a perfect base for exploring the wild beauty of this part of the Rockies. From a network of trails and hiking paths that crisscross the landscape to the sweeping reserves and historical parks that tell you the story of the Ancestral Pueblo people, there is so much to see and do all year round. Hike Bear Creek Trail and stop to admire the spectacular Bridal Veil Falls. Then take the gondola up to Mountain Village for lunch at one of the exclusive restaurants.

Westward Chalet exudes excellence and quality from the moment you walk through the door. This inviting mountain condo makes good use of refined detailing and clever design to create a roomy, light and airy interior. The crisp light floods into the main sitting area through large windows, and the open-plan layout makes it a relaxed space designed for socialising. A fully fitted kitchen continues that urban-meets-rustic theme with sleek steel appliances and a bespoke wooden table in the adjoining dining area.

The four bedrooms are neatly divided into two king-size rooms and two double twin rooms, providing flexible sleeping arrangements. Each bedroom is charmingly presented and decorated in neutral tones with individual pops of colour to give them a boutique feel. Attractive ensuites with indulgent soak tubs complete the layout.

Outside, a balcony lets you watch the sunset while sipping on a hot chocolate laced with a little drop or two of the locally-distilled craft bourbon. Westward Chalet is conveniently close to the free gondola and Chair 4, giving you easy access to Mountain Village and Telluride Ski Resort. With ski-in-ski-out access and the attractions of Telluride close by, it’s an ideal mountain retreat for summer and winter vacations.
