Mountain Activities

Head for the hills

Boundary Country’s mountains offer four seasons of elevation-fuelled adventure. Carve fresh powder, hike alpine ridgelines, ride lift-accessed bike parks or snowshoe quiet forest trails. With peaks like Big White, Baldy and Phoenix, the region is packed with scenic terrain, fresh air and no shortage of ways to play at altitude.

Activities

In every season, the mountains here deliver. Ski and snowboard deep powder at Big White or Baldy, race the Spring Fling Dummy Downhill at Phoenix or hike alpine trails bursting with wildflowers. Come summer, ride Big White’s world-class bike park or explore scenic loops above Greenwood. Crisp fall hikes, starlit snowshoeing - this is peak adventure, year-round.

The choices are practically endless

Savour the wide-open spaces as you hike and bike where Bighorn sheep, elk and deer still roam. Bask in the quiet of the wilderness while you fish tranquil lakes and slow-running rivers. Ride or hike the Kettle Valley Rail Trail (KVR) from campsite to campsite and park to park.

Extraordinary Outdoor Spaces

Escape summer’s heat, if only for a day. Round up the family for a riverside picnic. Visit for the day, or camp out for a week – letting each day unfold into a well-deserved family time out.
