Description

Immerse yourself in winter’s quiet beauty with a Private Snowshoeing Tour in Telluride. Departing mornings or afternoons, these half-day adventures lead you through scenic forest trails, high meadows, and ridge overlooks far from the bustle. This tour is flexible to your interests — wildlife tracking, photography stops, or pacing adjustments. Whether you’re new to winter trekking or an experienced backcountry enthusiast, you’ll feel connected to a calmer side of Telluride.

Your guide matches your pace, whether you prefer relaxed strolling or steady exploration.  We use off-the-beaten-path snowshoe routes that balance beautiful scenery with comfort — including glades, aspen groves, and occasional alpine outcrops. Expect gentle challenges and peaceful moments. Along the way, your guide shares insights on mountain ecology, local flora, and Telluride’s winter history. Ranging from a flat stroll through the valley floor to a moderate grade in the Bear Creek Preserve to steep big mountain ascents, this tour is catered to your preference. Our experienced guides will take you to top spots with iconic views of the San Juan Mountains. 

Breathe in the fresh mountain air and soak in the sights of snow-covered peaks and valleys. Our naturalist guides will teach you about the local plants and animals, making every step a fun, educational experience. Enjoy a deeply personal experience as you bask in the solitude and tranquility of the stunning winter landscapes. As you identify animal tracks bounding through the snow, be on the lookout for wildlife sightings, such as snowshoe hares, coyotes, elk, or the elusive lynx. We'll guide you through beautiful aspen groves, the river banks of the San Miguel, or vast open meadows where the world feels peaceful and still.

Find your winter bliss with a scenic snowshoe adventure in the heart of Telluride, designed just for you. It's a perfect way to escape into nature and unplug from the busy pace of daily life. Book now to unlock silent trails and powder views on your own snowshoe journey.
