The Wyndham Peaks Resort & Golden Door Spa is situated among the majesty of Colorado's Rocky Mountains and is constantly rated one of the world's finest resorts and spas. When you're in the mood to view breathtaking snow-capped peaks and relax in the luxury of down comforters, plush bathrobes and linens, a well-stocked bar, a stone fireplace and the services of a ski valet who warms and tunes your ski gear overnight, visit the Wyndham Peaks in Telluride.
Telluride is a quaint ski town known for low-key elegance and excellent ski terrain. There are no lift lines, which is said to be a huge draw for skiers such as Tom Cruise, Bill Ford, Jr., and Norman Schwarzkopf, who all have residences in Telluride.
The town's ample snow provides exceptional cross-country and downhill skiing, snowboarding and snowmobiling. Through the Wyndham, you also can enjoy horseback riding, mountain biking, fly-fishing, tennis, indoor/outdoor swimming and golfing at North America's highest-altitude championship course. Kids of all ages can take skating, skiing, snowboarding and snowshoe lessons. There's also the Kids Spa, Wyndham's in-house licensed childcare facility offering an attractive space for group and individual play for children ages 8 weeks to 5 years. Enjoy lounging in the great room, relaing in a living room setting as one big family. Adults drink spiked hot cocoa, kids drink the PG-version and everyone plays board games before dinner.
