SCOUT REVIEW
The Auberge Residences at Element 52, Telluride, redefine slope-side sophistication. Blending mountain charm with understated luxury, these privately owned residences (managed by Auberge Resorts) are a perfect match for travelers seeking both independence and full-service convenience.
The design aesthetic is warm and contemporary—think reclaimed wood, stone fireplaces, and soft neutral palettes with mountain views that command attention. Residences range from one to five bedrooms, ideal for couples, families, or small groups. Each comes equipped with a full gourmet kitchen, spacious living and dining areas, washer/dryer, and private terraces or balconies—everything needed for a seamless ski vacation.
The ski access is among the best in Telluride: simply clip in and glide down to the base of the Telluride Gondola. A dedicated ski valet handles gear storage and overnight boot drying, while the concierge can arrange lift tickets, lessons, or private guides. After a day on the slopes, relax in the outdoor hot tubs overlooking the river, unwind in the steam room, or indulge in a massage at the on-site spa.
Despite its private, tucked-away setting, The Auberge Residences at Element 52 are only a short walk (or free gondola ride) from the restaurants, shops, and galleries of downtown Telluride. Auberge’s attentive service team ensures every detail is taken care of, from grocery stocking to après-ski wine delivery—making it feel like your own home, only better.

About Telluride

Getting there is half the fun – the scenic drive from Gunnison or Durango is topped off with an even more picturesque main street.

Telluride is the complete package and Scout adores it.
