The Valley of a Thousand Peaks

Embraced by the Rocky Mountains to the east and the Purcell Mountains to the west, the Columbia Valley is home to more than a dozen golf courses surrounded by epic mountain scenery. World-class skiing at Fairmont Hot Springs, Panorama Mountain Village, Kimberley and Kicking Horse resorts is a short drive away.

With the mighty Columbia River flowing north through its entire length, the Columbia Valley also boasts two of southeast British Columbia's finest recreation lakes: Windermere and Columbia. Columbia Lake offers a warm welcome to its visitors - wildlife at the water's edge, children splashing laughingly along the shoreline, or canoes and kayaks coasting noiselessly across its glassy surface.
