Southern Colorado is the state’s most underrated area, and Telluride is its pride and joy. The rugged San Juan Mountains are akin to the peaks of Switzerland. There are far fewer crowds than in the mountain towns along the busy Interstate 70 corridor. And the opportunities for recreation are better, with wide-open trails, ski slopes, and hot tubs. These Airbnbs in Telluride and around the region put you in the action.
