Looking for some beautiful views of Telluride without having to trek up a mountain or strap into skis? Then hop aboard this free gondola that takes families right to Mountain Village and everywhere in between (including Allred’s restaurant). You’ll rarely see a line (we’d guess the longest we waited in line was three minutes), and attendants are there to help you hop onboard and put your ski equipment in the outside racks.

The gondola runs every day from the third week in May until the third week in October, and from the third week in November until the first week of April, 7 a.m. to midnight.
