Visit Ouray

Visit Ouray Colorado is the official tourism office for Ouray, a mountain community in southwest Colorado known as the “Switzerland of America.” The organization helps visitors plan trips and discover experiences throughout the San Juan Mountains, sharing information on lodging, dining, events, transportation, and activities in every season. Its online resources include visitor guides, maps, webcams, curated itineraries, a blog, and practical guidance for getting around and exploring responsibly.

The site also highlights local restaurants, shops, museums, arts and culture, parks, breweries, and entertainment. Seasonal recommendations cover summer wildflowers and trails, fall colors, and winter adventures such as snowshoeing and backcountry skiing. Visitors can browse places to stay, from historic hotels and inns to vacation rentals and lodges, and learn about family-friendly options, day trips, and special events, including celebrations of Ouray’s 150th anniversary.
