Telluride

Telluride offers a variety of on-mountain restaurants and cuisine. Gorrono restaurant, located mid-mountain on Misty Maiden, is an historic ranch-style building that offers American favorites and barbecues on a huge, sunny deck with great views. Whether it is spending just a few minutes here to grab a quick bite or staying hours to soak up some sun on the deck, Gorrono is a big hit with locals and visitors alike.

Big Billie’s at the base of Lifts 1 and 10 also has American favorites, barbecues, and Southwestern fare. The Pizza Chalet offers pizza, salad, sandwiches, espresso drinks, and ice cream. Guiseppe’s, located way up at 11, on the top of Lift 9, features quick Italian fare in a cozy setting. Finally, the newest restaurant addition to the mountain is Allred’s, very haute cuisine and spectacular views to boot. At night, it becomes a glittering après-ski gem.
