The Telluride Mountain Village Gondola is the only free ride of its kind in the United States.
Opened in 1996, it is both public transportation between the two towns, and a ski, snowboard, and mountain bike lift for visitors and residents wishing to use the ski runs.
The thirteen-minute trip from Telluride to Mountain Village or vice versa lasts thirteen minutes and gives dramatic all-round views of the San Juan Mountains.
The gondolas are wheelchair accessible, have ski, snowboard, and bike racks. Blankets are provided at each station for your comfort during the winter season.
