Purgatory Resort

Unique to Colorado, and perhaps the world, Purgatory Resort (FKA Durango Mountain Resort) offers unsurpassed natural beauty, enhanced by the gracious warmth of its people. It's an intriguing place, where the history of the Wild West and fanciful Victorian times bestows upon the resort, and the neighboring town of Durango, an incomparable character. Yet there is nothing archaic about the winter adventures that abound, the lodging and dining delights, and the charm of our magical mountain community.

With a prime location on the southwestern rim of the Rocky Mountains, Purgatory Resort enjoys mild winter temperatures, with even January days averaging in the upper 20s. Our mountain remains just chilly enough to maintain its powdery snow, yet the environment is warm enough to encourage outdoor activities and lure everyone to delight in the breathtaking beauty that abounds from every vantage point.
