Flight
Telluride is accessible by a handful of airports, but Montrose Airport (MTJ) is the least expensive. You can click here to see the various direct flights to Montrose Airport.
Flight
Telluride Airport (TEX) is definitely the most convenient airport but can run on the more expensive side of things. If you choose to fly into Telluride, you'll want to connect in Phoenix (PHX) or Denver (DEN) and fly on Denver Air Connection to Telluride Airport (TEX).
Rental Car
You do not need a rental car when visiting Telluride unless you would like to explore the region or have mobility limitations. To get from Montrose or Telluride Airport, we recommend booking a shuttle with Mountain Limo or Telluride Express. It's about a 20 minute drive to any hotel/home rental from Telluride Airport and a 1.5 hour drive to Telluride from Montrose. Telluride Express has less expensive shuttles with larger vans and buses but you have to be patient as you'll participate in public drop offs for all other guests if you're in a public shuttle. That said, you can book a private shuttle with Telluride Express as well. Mountain Limo is the more expensive option but the service is higher end and they offer smaller shuttles for private bookings.

House Or Rental
We ask that you not book with Airbnb or VRBO during your time in Telluride as these short-term rentals are controversial in our small town with limited rental housing availability. If you’d like to rent a larger unit during your stay, please reach out as we have some friends with options. If you’d rather look around yourself, we recommend looking at AvantStay for some Airbnb-style lodging. They run frequent promotions and have lower fees than Airbnb and VRBO. If you need other lodging options, please do not hesitate to reach out to Lindsey directly to discuss at (303) 319-6448.
