Fly nonstop to Telluride and Mountain Village from six major airports on four different carriers

This summer, traveling to Telluride and Mountain Village is as simple as hopping on one of the eight nonstop flights to the area’s two airports.

The closest airport to Telluride and Mountain Village is the Telluride Regional Airport (TEX), which is just 10 minutes from the heart of both communities. Denver Air operates into TEX and uses fast, comfortable Dornier 328 Jets. (Plus, they’re known for offering the best snacks in the business!) Denver Air runs daily flights into TEX all summer long from both Denver International Airport (DEN) and Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX), and travelers can book and connect directly through United, American and Delta.

Montrose Regional Airport (MTJ), is around 65 miles north of Telluride and Mountain Village, and boasts robust service on three major carriers during the summer. The airport just completed a major expansion that added 25,000 square feet to the terminal, including a larger baggage claim, spacious check-in and waiting areas, an outdoor pick-up patio with a fireplace, over 500 additional parking spaces and a bar and restaurant with unforgettable views.

This summer, United Airlines continues its service to MTJ with multiple daily flights from DEN, and daily flights from Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) during peak summer months. United will also fly into MTJ from Chicago O’Hare International Airport (ORD) on Wednesdays and Saturdays.

Travelers on Southwest Airlines can fly direct to MTJ from DEN daily, while Dallas Love Field (DAL) has a direct flight on Southwest on Saturdays in the summer. There are also twice-daily flights to MTJ from Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) on American Airlines.

With plenty of convenient direct flights and two well-connected airports, getting to Telluride and Mountain Village this summer is easier than ever. So book your flight, pack your bag and get ready to experience the beauty and adventure that await in this mountain paradise.
