Mountain Gondola Ride

Cappie’s Scoop: Yes, dogs can ride the gondola! I was very scared at first when it started moving but then it wasn’t so bad at all. It was like a bumpy car ride plus mom gave me lots of treats for being a good boy. It was worth it! I got to ride on it two times since we visited Mountain Village and then we returned to Telluride. Don’t hesitate to add YOUR scoop in the comments below!

Tips: Want a different adventure! The gondola offers free, seasonal transportation and even has pet-friendly cars! The gondola connects the town of Telluride and Mountain Village which has shops and restaurants with outdoor seating. We took the ride from Telluride to Mountain Village at sunset and it was amazing! Then on the way back, we rode back into Telluride with a view of the town’s night lights and snow on the mountains. Check the website for the operating hours before you go.

Directions: Coordinates take you to the entrance of the gondola in downtown Telluride on W San Juan Ave. Link below that has details on the gondola parking garage.
