For groups
Reunions, milestones and offsites in an intimate property where a small group can feel like they own the place.
Design This TripTake over Lumiere by Dunton in Mountain Village, an intimate boutique property where a small group can feel like they own the place, with ski-in/ski-out access at Lift 4 and full-kitchen residences for slow mornings.
Charter a private day with Telluride Offroad Adventures up Black Bear or Ophir Pass, the kind of high-alpine drive that bonds a group fast, then reconvene for a long shared-plates dinner at The National.
A round at the Telluride Golf Club atop Turkey Creek Mesa, among the highest courses on Earth, makes a memorable group outing in the warm months. We coordinate the home, the charter and the tables so no one is herded.
