Enjoy The Chondola in Telluride
For a unique way of getting around in Telluride you should take the chondola. The chondola is a combination of a chairlift and a gondola ride. The chondola is a 4 person gondola cabin in between every ten chairs. The ride will start at the bottom of the Meadows ski run and will go straight up to Mountain Village. You can get around some areas of Telluride and also areas in Mountain Village as well by getting off one chondola and getting into another. Forget the car! Catch a chondola!
The chondola runs every day during the Winter season for skiing. You can ride it anytime between 7am and 12am. That’s 17 hours that the chondola is open and available for your use. During certain festivals the hours are extended to meet the needs of tourists.
Riding times are not long at all and while you ride the chondola you can look out and see the beautiful scenery of Telluride CO. The least amount of time you will spend on a chondola is 1.5 minutes and the most is 6.5 minutes depending on where you’re riding to. If you want to ride to Station St. Sophia you better not forget to grab your chondola ticket though or you won’t be able to ride!
Ride the chondola to avoid parking and it’s virtually noiseless. Best of all it helps to keep air pollution down. It doesn’t disrupt the view either because it’s right at the tree line so when you look out you don’t see all the chondolas. Help preserve the area and it’s wilderness by riding the chondola next time you need to get around Telluride Colorado.
