The Village of Valemount sits within the scenic backdrop of blue skies and dramatic snowcapped peaks and is where explorers like you gather before heading out on adventures. You are surrounded by the Cariboo, Monashee and Rocky Mountain ranges, with Mount Robson, the tallest peak in the Canadian Rockies, in view. Hike the Berg Lake Trail, where you’ll cross three biogeoclimatic zones and gain close to 800 metres in elevation over 23 km (14 mi). Know before you go—anyone intending to hike the Berg Lake Trail should check the Mount Robson webpage for recommendations, updates and trail closures.
