Scenic Flights

Telluride, Colorado offers some of the best sightseeing adventures anywhere. To get a unique view of the San Juan Mountains, take a scenic flight like a hot air balloon ride or soar quietly over the peaks in a glider. You will truly appreciate the specter of the area as you travel hundreds of feet over the green forests and barren mesas.

For those who ski, "getting air," means one thing, and for those who ride in hot air balloons or gliders, "getting air" means something very different. On a clear, quiet morning, the Telluride basin becomes one of the best places in the United State to be aboard a hot air balloon. As the wind slightly picks up consider going on a tandem paragliding ride. And even later in the day go on one of the area's many scenic flights in a small plane. Another great way to enjoy the area is to take a glider ride high above the landscape. You can enjoy thrills year round by soaring over the ski slopes in both winter and summer.
