This guide to the Telluride Easter activities and attractions you can experience during your escape to the mountains of Colorado will help you fill every moment with fun, excitement, and more.
As the Sun Rises
Easter traditionally starts with a sunrise service at your home church, but even as you are thousands of miles away from home, rising early on this beautiful spring Sunday can be a rewarding experience. Maybe you can watch the sunrise service from your laptop, many churches are offering virtual services post-pandemic, or maybe you just want to awaken early, letting the peace of the early morning fill your soul with hope and beauty. Bundle up, it will still be cold in these early days of spring and sit out on the deck of your holiday haven, watching the night fade away, the sky turn to fire, and the shadows disappear. A sunrise in Telluride is something everyone should experience at least once in their lifetime and what better time to do so than on Easter Sunday?
Easter Brunch
As with most holidays, Easter celebrations revolve around the holiday meal and although your Accommodations in Telluride abode does offer a fully equipped kitchen that you will have to try out at least once, Easter Brunch is more fun when someone else does the preparation, the serving, and the clearing away after. The Chop House Restaurant, 231 W Colorado Avenue, offers a fantastic Sunday brunch, that even as it may not have Easter as its first name, still offers a wonderful way to celebrate the holiday. Serving classic breakfast meals, including a Southwestern favorite we call chilaquiles, made with eggs, black beans, guacamole, crispy corn tortillas, and your choice of breakfast meats. It’s delicious and we urge you to try it!
Ski for Easter
Easter is held on a different Sunday every year and on some years, the ski season may have already ended, (generally it ends around the first week of April) but if you get the chance, spending the day on a slopes is always cause for celebration, making this holiday doubly special! The slopes open at 9 AM, so you might have to skip brunch, but an Easter après ski is sure to be a great substitution!
Meet the Easter Bunny
For those traveling with kids, this next activity is bound to be the most important one, at least according to the tiniest travelers. The Easter Bunny is an integral part of the holiday for kids and just because you are traveling, it doesn’t mean your kids have to sacrifice the tradition. Mountain Village has been known to host the Easter Bunny, and as he free-range hops around, he will happily stop his hops and pose for pics with the kiddos and share some of the candy in his basket with them as well.
Something Sweet
Speaking of candy, when it is time to fill the baskets you, as proxy Easter Bunny, leave for your kids, you could stop by the local markets to pick up the standard treats, or you could make your way over to Telluride Truffle for something truly extra. Located at 135 E Colorado Avenue, their truffles take chocolate to the next level of sublime and at Easter, they offer holiday designed chocolates that will elevate the kid’s basket during your travels.
