Kootenay Rockies
An undiscovered gem & outdoor recreation paradise
Framed by the Selkirk, Monashee and Purcell mountain ranges in southeastern British Columbia, the slower-paced Kootenays dazzle with a palette of soaring snow-capped peaks, clear lakes, mineral hot springs and alpine meadows. With such scenic vistas, it’ s little wonder that adventure abounds, from hiking, biking and watersports during summer to skiing in the winter, plus year-round mineral-rich hot springs. While the Kootenays’ rugged nature and outdoor thrills draw you in, it’ s the charming communities, rich culture and crave-worthy food that truly enchant. Check out Nelson, idyllically set on Kootenay Lake, for its heritage buildings and big buzz; stroll the beautifully restored downtown of Revelstoke; explore the galleries and quaint shops of Invermere; visit friendly Golden for wildlife viewing and also breathtaking Golden Skybridge, home to Canada’ s highest suspension bridges; and what better way to revive aching muscles than with a soak in the hot springs of Radium Hot Springs Village. Our top tip- visit now before everyone else discovers it!
Getting there: Driving time from Calgary is 3-4 hours( depending on specific destination).
Best time to go: December-March is perfect for winter sports enthusiasts, spring and autumn offer pleasant weather and fewer crowds for hiking and wildlife viewing, while June-August is ideal for those keen to walk or bike trails and get out on the water.
