EXPERIENCES

BE MOVED!

In Valemount, you are welcomed by friendly villagers, and greeted by three mountain ranges. In every direction you see majestic mountain views featuring the Cariboo, Monashee and Rocky Mountain ranges that inspire year-round outdoor adventures. Take a day trip from Valemount to visit and explore nearby Mount Robson Provincial Park, which is the highest peak of the Canadian Rockies, and features waterfalls, day hikes and scenic views. Experience an exhilarating flight to the peak or snowshoeing on snow covered trails in winter. #KnowBeforeYouGo and check trail conditions before venturing out.

Snow Fun

Valemount’s pristine snow was made for strapping on your fat skis or snowboard and carving your way through waves of powder. Try CAT skiing with Cariboo Snowcat, or for something unique, try powerboarding at Crystal Ridge. It is the only place with a sled-assisted ski hill in the world. Head down on long, steep tree runs and wide bowls filled with powder and classic glades.

Our backcountry is a haven for cross-country skiers, snowshoers and snowmobilers. You will find dozens of snowmobile trails here, with varying difficulty levels from family adventurer to hardcore sledder.

Let your team of Alaskan Huskies lead you through a snowy winter wonderland past frozen waterfalls, snow-covered trees and breathtaking panoramic views with Coldfire Creek Dogsledding.

Sensational Summer

Sensational is the word used to describe summer in Valemount—where the scenery is immaculate and the adventures are epic. Heli-hike Mount Robson and experience the sights and sounds of as you hike to Kinney Lake.

Up for a challenge? Then take your mountain bike up to the Valemount Bike Park! Shuttle services are available. There are many trials (with more being added every year!) of varying degrees for all ages and abilities. For the adventurous, head up Canoe Mountain for stunning 360-degree vistas by ATV. For those who prefer a slower ride, sign up for a guided horseback tour of the valley.

Nature-lovers will enjoy exploring the trails and boardwalk at Cranberry Marsh. There are wildlife viewing platforms for spectacular bird-watching opportunities: Hawks, eagles, geese, ducks, woodpeckers, owls, swifts, and warblers all nest here. Look closely, and you may spot muskrats, mule deer, moose and even bears.

For Chinook Salmon viewing go to George Hicks Regional Park to the viewing deck that gives great views of the salmon when they arrive in the late summer and autumn months. For a thrilling sight venture to Rearguard Falls to see the Chinook salmon leaping over the falls. Enjoy more warmer month adventures like white water rafting, canoeing, kayaking and paddle boarding. Take a scenic helicopter tour, or ATV tour.

Enjoy the wild flowers by Kinbasket Lake.
