Getting In:
There are a number of regional airports. In order of recommendation, check out:
Montrose Regional Airport (MTJ) - approx. 1.3hr drive to Telluride. Shuttle service available or rental cars.
Telluride Regional Airport (TEX) - 15min outside of town, this is the closet airport, but typically isn't cheap.
Durango - La Plata County Airport (DRO) - approx. 2hr drive to Telluride. Shuttle service available, but pricier than Montrose. Rental cars also an option.
Denver International Airport (DEN) - about 6hr drive from Telluride. Yep...farther than you'd think.
Getting to Telluride:
There are a number of shuttle services to get you from Montrose Airport or Durango Airport to Telluride.
Telluride Express has the largest fleet and is our recommended option.
You won't need a rental car to experience Telluride's charm, but one can be rented in Telluride or at any of the regional airports.
