Sun Peaks is a premiere resort community located at the heart of southern British Columbia. It is one of the highest ranked resorts in the world, and boasts the second largest ski area in Canada, making it a must visit for any winter enthusiast. The resort has a European-style ski through village at its center that is surrounded by three supreme mountains that are ideal for skiing and snowboarding. And the village contains a plethora of locally owned bars, restaurants, and boutiques that are perfect for après activities.

Get outside and play hard at Sun Peaks Resort. There are a huge variety of outdoor Canadian adventure activities that will keep you busy during your stay, including: 

• Skiing & Snowboarding
  The primary attraction is skiing and snowboarding down the mountain. Sun Peaks has three amazing mountains, each having their own terrain, from beginner to the expert.
• Ice fishing
  There is nothing more uniquely Canadian than ice fishing. Elevate Fishing Adventures provides a local guide to take you to one of the many mountain lakes surrounding the resorts. Sitting toasty in a heated tent while sipping on your favorite beverage is a great way to bond with friends and family, even if you don’t catch a fish. For an extra Canadian experience, we recommend bringing along a flask of whiskey. 
• Snowshoeing
  There are a multitude of hiking trails and cross-country paths to explore via the old school art of snowshoeing. 
• Dog sledding
  If you’ve ever wanted to remake Balto or get a little taste of what it’s like to race the Iditarod, now is the chance. Sun Peaks keeps well trained dog teams on hand staffed by experts, so you can get a taste of one of the world’s most unique methods of travel.

  Winter is incomplete without the iconic horse drawn sleigh ride. It isn’t just an interesting form of leisure, but it is also the perfect romantic move to escalate a gaymance.
