Sun Peaks. Where you belong.
Sun Peaks' Manifesto:
We're pretty happy being second. Because…while we're the second largest ski area in Canada, it's a little quieter sitting back behind number one. It gives us permission to set our own pace, run our own race, and be a bit more relaxed and laid back.
As it turns out, that's what people love about us. We don't have crowds or a scene. But we do have a life—a mountain life to be exact. It's a way of going about working, playing, raising our families and growing a community in British Columbia's interior mountains.
From the outside, our little town may look like a European transplant, but inside, it is 100% Canadian—disarmingly friendly, unwaveringly inclusive and instinctively open-hearted. And despite being a full-service resort, we don't think of ourselves as having a "product". Or an "offering". Or even "amenities", for that matter. We do, however, have real experiences served up by independent business owners and operators who call this place home, and live to share its gifts.
About Sun Peaks:
Sun Peaks is a resort community in the heart of British Columbia and a destination for guests in search of a welcoming and stress-free holiday experience. Encircled by three mountains, at Sun Peaks' core is a European-inspired, car-free village, featuring +40 locally-owned restaurants, boutique shops and lodging. In the winter, Sun Peaks' champagne powder lures visitors to explore Canada's second largest ski area, with 4,270 acres (1,728 hectares) of downhill terrain and over 37 km of Nordic trails. Following a day on the slopes, the most difficult decision is whether to continue the adventure with a snowshoe or dogsled tour, head to the lake for an ice fishing excursion, or savour the taste of the region's finest wine paired with BC-inspired cuisine. The summer months reveal a lush alpine paradise where guests can golf on British Columbia's highest golf course, hike through vibrant alpine wildflowers, explore the lift-access mountain bike park, or paddle McGillivray Lake while learning about Canada's storied past. Year-round, Sun Peaks celebrates a variety of festivals, concerts and sporting events – highlights include the annual winter wine festival, Snowbombing Canada, summer concerts on Sun Peaks' open-air stage and complimentary, kid-friendly activities during Family Weeks.
