🏔️✨ The Peaks Resort and Spa: Telluride’s Wellness Jewel in the Sky

Where high-altitude healing meets panoramic peace, and every spa moment echoes with the wisdom of the mountains.

Envision yourself high in the San Juan Mountains, breathing crisp alpine air, admiring snow-dusted peaks that appear divinely sculpted. Within this stunning landscape sits The Spa at The Peaks Resort and Spa – one of Colorado’s largest and highest-altitude spas, delivering expansive, uplifting, and deeply immersive wellness.

Let me tell you, this isn’t just a spa visit – it’s a multi-level wellness journey, wrapped in luxury, kissed by the clouds, and entirely unforgettable.

🌄 The Setting: A Dreamy Escape in the Heart of Telluride

Telluride is a place that feels hidden in plain sight – a former mining town turned luxury haven, surrounded by 13,000-foot peaks and waterfalls so tall they seem to fall from heaven. It’s no surprise that The Peaks Resort chose to bloom here.

The resort’s design is warm and welcoming, with natural wood, massive windows, and soft textures that make you feel like you’ve stepped into an alpine sanctuary. But the true crown jewel?

The Spa, spread across 42,000 square feet of wellness bliss.

💆‍♀️ The Spa at The Peaks: Where Altitude Meets Attunement

This is one of the largest and most advanced spa facilities in the Rockies – and you feel that scale, not just physically, but emotionally. The second you enter, you’re invited into a space where the mountains are your guides, the therapists your healers, and the treatments your sacred pause.

🌿 Signature Treatments That Truly Elevate:

The Spa at The Peaks offers signature treatments designed to harmonize with Telluride’s high-altitude environment, using premium ingredients and innovative techniques. Treatments typically range from $185 to $275, reflecting the high-end luxury and personalized care. Here are four standout experiences:

✨ Altitude Adjustment Ritual 🏔️

Perfect for new arrivals, this restorative treatment combines a full-body massage with oxygen therapy, a soothing herbal foot soak, and a hydration infusion.

💆‍♀️ The oxygen therapy boosts energy and alleviates altitude-related symptoms like headaches and fatigue, while the foot soak with calming lavender and chamomile herbs promotes circulation.

🌿 Expect to leave feeling revitalized and ready to embrace Telluride’s adventures! ⚡️

🌄 High Alpine Herbal Scrub & Wrap

This exfoliating and hydrating treatment uses wildcrafted herbs like alpine arnica and sage, blended with mineral-rich salts and warming essential oils of cedarwood and pine.

🌲 The scrub sloughs off dry skin, while the wrap, cocooned in a heated blanket, deeply moisturizes and soothes muscles. Arnica reduces inflammation, making this ideal for post-activity recovery, leaving you enveloped in a warm, mountain-inspired embrace. ✨

💚 CBD Therapeutic Massage

Designed for deep relief, this massage uses locally sourced CBD oils to target inflammation and muscle tension.

🌱 The deep-tissue technique, enhanced by CBD’s anti-inflammatory properties, eases soreness from skiing, hiking, or high-altitude exertion. The result is a transformative release of tension, perfect for adventure-weary bodies seeking profound relaxation. 😌

✨ Peaks Signature Facial 🧖‍♀️

Combat altitude-induced dryness and environmental stress with this hydrating, oxygen-rich facial.

💦 Using Naturopathica’s oxygen-infused serums and Tata Harper’s botanical extracts, it restores moisture, brightens complexion, and protects against pollution. The treatment leaves skin radiant and resilient, with results that last for days. ✨

The spa also includes an oxygen inhalation room, Eucalyptus-infused steam rooms, a Roman-style mineral whirlpool, and gender-specific sanctuaries for soaking, steaming, and simply being.

🧖‍♀️ The Experience: Full-Body, Full-Mind Wellness

The spa isn’t the only star here. This wellness wonderland includes:

• Fitness Center with cutting-edge equipment and sweeping views
• Indoor/Outdoor Heated Pool with panoramic windows that make swimming feel like flying
• Pilates and Yoga Studio with daily classes
• Full-service salon for head-to-toe pampering
• Wellness consultations and therapeutic recovery options for athletes and active adventurers

This is the kind of place where you can design your own wellness retreat, whether you’re coming off the ski slopes, the hiking trails, or the hustle of daily life.

🌌 My Favorite Memory: Stargazing from the Outdoor Hot Tub

After a day of hiking Bridal Veil Falls and indulging in the Altitude Adjustment Ritual, I slipped into the outdoor soaking pool, a warm sanctuary in the cool evening air. The sky above Telluride is impossibly dark, and the stars? Blazing. The sound of the wind through the aspens, the steam rising around me, the sparkle of snow in the distance – it was pure mountain stillness.

And in that moment, I felt it. Not just peace, but a kind of elevation that no plane ticket could buy. I wasn’t just relaxed. I was renewed.

🥗 Nourishment at the Next Level at 

After your spa session, you don’t want to reach for just anything. Luckily, Altezza at The Peaks offers nutrient-rich, high-vibrational dining with a view that stretches from the valley floor to the summit.

Expect:

• Locally sourced meats, fish, and vegetables
• Gluten-free and dairy-conscious options

Don’t miss the avocado toast with smoked trout or the quinoa and roasted root veggie bowl – pure mountain fuel.

🛌 Restorative Rooms with Breathtaking Views
