It's rugged here, making Sandpoint the perfect place to hike and bike forested trails, play on the lake, and hit the slopes on Schweitzer's 2,900 skiable acres.

It’s also culturally refined here, with award-winning wineries, art galleries, a historic theater, and lively culinary scene.

All summer long, Sandpoint touts an impressive lineup of events highlighted by the incomparable Festival at Sandpoint outdoor concert series, the Long Bridge Swim, the CHAFE 150 and WaCanId bike rides, and a Scenic Half marathon with views that inspire.

Come winter, Sandpoint goes nonstop from opening day at Schweitzer Mountain Resort through the annual Winter Carnival celebration and beyond. Just a few miles in any direction, you'll always find the peace and solitude of winter in the northcountry.
