Alta Lakes Observatory; Rustic Mountain Cabin outside Telluride | Cabin in Telluride

Alta Lakes Observatory was hand built in the early 70's by some of the earliest 'settlers' of Telluride's Ski Resort town, Jim and Salli Russell. It is constructed of local timber and stone, stained glass windows, a huge fireplace, hot tub, decks, and an ambience that settles the soul.
The Observatory. Extremely. Comfortable. Backcountry.
SUMMER TIME: Alta Lakes Observatory is located 13 miles from Telluride, 5 miles off the highway, on a mountain dirt road, accessible by 2 wheel drive vehicle (high clearance!!!!) through breathtaking scenery! Wild flowers abound! Great fishing, hiking, mountain biking - they are right out our front door. In the summer it's the perfect venue for weddings, just because gatherings, retreats, corporate groups (if you have more than 12 people reach out prior to booking!).
WINTER TIME: Alta Lakes Observatory is adjacent to the Telluride ski area and is accessible on Alta Lakes Road by snowmobile (we have them!), snowshoe or skiing (it can take anywhere from 15 - 45 minutes in each direction depending on fitness level and weather conditions) in from the back country access gate from the Telluride ski area. If you opt for the snowmobiles then you are in for a treat! We are with you when the sleds are in use and love seeing our guests faces while enjoying what is often a trip highlight!
