Two towns and a gondola (Town of Mountain Village)
- Elevations: Telluride 8,750 feet; Mountain Village 9,545 feet.
- Gondola: a three-stage gondola connects the two towns. It is owned and operated by the Town of Mountain Village, which describes it as free.
- Government: each town has its own government.
Why this matters for renters: a "Telluride" listing may be in town or up in Mountain Village, and town rules can differ. Check the map pin and ask how close the gondola is.
