Pagosa Springs is a hidden gem in southwest Colorado with its pristine forests, beautiful wilderness and natural hot springs. You’ll find plenty of hotels in Pagosa Springs to suit your personal needs. From traditional hotel rooms and suites to larger condos, Pagosa Springs has plenty of accommodation to offer.
In winter, most people use the town as a base for the Wolf Creek Ski Resort, while the hot springs and natural landscapes draw visitors in the summer. Wolf Creek Ski Area is one of the best ski resorts in Colorado, boasting the most snow in Colorado. However, the downside to skiing here is the lack of good accommodation in the vicinity since there is no resort town. Pagosa Springs is about a 35-minute drive west from the resort so the town along with South Fork towards the east is used as a base for skiers.
