Find your stay in Crested Butte

Crested Butte is a Victorian mining town at the end of a dead-end valley in the Elk Mountains, holding the largest concentration of Victorian buildings in Colorado and a state designation as the wildflower capital.

Its visitors enjoy a mountain known worldwide for its steep terrain paired with a National Historic District, premier accommodations, and a summer season that draws as many people as winter. At Crested Butte Mountain Resort, beginners and intermediates have the front side, with groomed cruisers and a longest run of 2.6 miles, while experienced skiers come for the reason the mountain has its reputation: Rambo, Teocalli Bowl, and the hike-to chutes of the Extreme Limits, terrain that has hosted the U.S. Extreme Skiing Championships and the Freeride World Tour. Another 50 kilometers of groomed nordic trails run through the valley below. The town sits a few miles under the ski village at 8,885 feet, connected by a free shuttle every 15 minutes, with Victorian storefronts, restaurants, and meadows that hold more than 600 species of wildflowers in July.
