It Just Comes
naturally
Sch we it zer
Looking for small-town charm? Head out for any of a number of year-round special
events, while browsing through mom-and-pop stores. Looking for adventure? Blaze a trail along one of many hiking paths around the area, where you’ll find a wilderness of solitude just minutes from downtown. Or schuss dozens of trails and two open bowls at Schweitzer Mountain Resort, the Inland Northwest’s largest ski and snowboard resort, only 11 miles from downtown Sandpoint.
With such diverse options, you can enjoy a winter’s day on the slopes, followed by an evening out on the town – perhaps taking in an independent film or concert at the historic, renowned Panida Theater. Or fill a summer afternoon on the water or at a cozy beach on Lake Pend Oreille, Idaho’s largest and deepest lake. Relax – you’re in Sandpoint now!
