Sun Peaks hits that sweet spot: big mountain, intimate village, and zero stress.
It’s Canada’s second-biggest ski area, but it never feels overwhelming. There’s room to explore, heaps of terrain for all levels, and the kind of reliable snow that makes every run a good one. You won’t be stuck in queues or packed onto trails – it’s laid-back, expansive and variable.
It’s an easy trip from Kamloops, and once you’re there, everything just works. Sun Peaks isn’t just about the skiing, there’s heaps to do off the slopes too. The village is intimate but has everything you need right at your doorstep: cafes with their iconic cinnamon buns, pubs for a pub crawl, a stocked market store and delicious restaurants.
Ride a snowmobile through the backcountry, go tubing or axe throwing, or enjoy a fondue dinner followed by a guided ski down under the stars. This mountain has so much to explore, on a snowmobile, or head into Kamloops to catch an ice hockey game. Whether it’s dog sledding with the cutest pups, snowshoeing through the forest, or heli-skiing for the thrill seekers, there’s something for everyone.
