Sun Peaks Grand Hotel

Skiing

There are so many skiing and snowboarding options for your days gliding down steep slopes, challenging the powder snow, and cruising the glade zones. But for the days you don’t want to embark on the snow alone, this hotel offers a variety of experiences you can embark on in in the mountains run by experts, including skiing with Olympic Champion Nancy Greene! Join Sun Peaks Backcountry Tours and Avalanche Training to ski along the peaceful backcountry after an in-depth safety course. Take the scenic Nordic route which is family and pet friendly off the Holy Cow trail to Mcgilivray Lake Outpost warming hut, boasting wonderful views of the mountains through the alpine trees.

Axe Throwing

Between the moments on the snow, try something new at Sun Peaks and hurl some axes at a bulls-eye board. Cleavage Axe Co lead an unforgettable sport for a competitive ‘off the slopes’ activity. Don’t worry, the axe-perts are there to teach you everything you need to know before you begin.

Alpine Fondue & Starlight Descent

A perfect dining experience is important to Sun Peaks, which is why they offer an exceptional restaurant at the middle of the mountain. Take the Sunburst Express chairlift to see the panoramic views of the mountain at dusk. When you arrive at your destination, head into the Sunburst Bar and Eatery to watch the sun set behind the resort. Indulge in the Swiss-style fondue with delicious cuts of assorted meats. When you’re finished, trek out to view the alp-like scenery under the moon, and watch as the snow twinkles under its light.

Fat Biking

Slip off the ski boots and choose fat biking through the snow for another way to explore the natural beauty of the alpine winter wonderland. The oversized tires are designed to get you through the thick mounds of snow above 5cm. If the temperature is below 0°C, make sure to embark on this fun activity!

Ice Fishing

Enjoy an all-day guided fishing experience with Elevated Fishing Adventures who will be your guide from the beginning right up until the end of the day. Sit on the frozen water and spend time catching the Rainbow Trout with all the expert fishing gear you need provided, accompanied with a warming beverage. You never know, you might catch your dinner for the night!

Guided Mountain Tours

Grab some snowshoes and embark on the trail at Sun Peaks Resort. Whether you choose to do this with a guide or alone, you won’t be short of scenic views of natural wonders such as snow caves, or wildlife spotting with animal track exploration and watching for birds at their feeding stations. Sun Peaks is brimming with Canadian enthusiasts of the outdoors who are bursting to tell you everything they know about the region. You won’t be able to miss them, they’re coated in bright orange and have a big smile plastered to their face. They’re there to be the host to your perfect ski holiday.

Dog Sled Tours and Horse Drawn Sleigh Rides

Something you won’t want to miss is the guided dog sled tours that make for an exhilarating experience. Make sure to wear your biggest winter coat because you will be battling the wind as your furry friends run you through the snow on a sled. If you want more animal fun on the resort, take a cozy ride wrapped in fluffy blankets in a horse drawn sleigh as you weave through the village. Book with Sun Peaks Stables for this lovely trip.
