I loved that I could hop on and off the gondola for FREE! Could hike up or down, visit the Telluride village, and return to town...FREE, FREE, FREE!!!! Views great, though after seeing the airport from the top, not sure I'd ever fly into Telluride!!!

This form of transportation is genius! The gondola stations are conveniently located throughout Mountain Village and Telluride and most importantly it's FREE!

WOW - What a gorgeous view and fun ride! Everyone that works for the gondola at all stops were very friendly! We rode the gondola for our wedding at the San Sophia Overlook and the staff slowed the gondola down (without disrupting everyone else's ride) while we put the "just married" sign on the back. They also cleaned the seats... More

The gondola goes from downtown Telluride over to the Mountain village. It is free and runs all day until midnight. They allow you to take your pets and your bikes on the gondola as well so you can go back and forth without any hassle.

What is better than looking at beautiful scenery while riding a Gondola from lodging to town? During the day you see snow caped mountains, wild life, and Aspens and during the evening you see the twinkling lights of the fairy tale town of Telluride.

What a fun and fascinating experience! They accept donations but don't charge a fee...very cool! We were in Telluride in early June and rode the gondola in the evening and in the morning. Each ride had us marveling at the magnificent scenery. On our morning ride, we got off at the first stop, hiked around a little, and took some... More

Free is always good and the free gondola in Telluride is the best bargain in town. We rode the gondola twice during our overnight stay in Telluride. The views are unbeatable! Plan to do this when you are in Telluride!!!!

Are you kidding me? It's free? Amazing!!! A spectacular experience each time. The 13 or so minutes flies by and you just cannot believe how quiet it is as you make the trip up or down the mountain. We saw a bunch of deer and the views are nothing short of breathtaking. It is hard to believe that it is... More
