British Columbia Mountains things to do
Stay in a Mountain Lodge
It's the ultimate alpine experience: a luxury hideaway high in the peaks. There's no better way to appreciate the scale and beauty of British Columbia's mountains and when the only access is by helicopter - it simply adds to the adventure. Many lodges are located in national and provincial parks, the perfect base to enjoy outdoor activities in all seasons.
Luxury Rockies Rail Trip
It would be difficult to find a more relaxing way of exploring the magnificent alpine landscapes of British Columbia than on board the Rocky Mountaineer railway. Guests can enjoy prime views of breathtaking scenery from the observation deck as this luxurious double-decker train weaves its way through the Rockies. The dream journey includes gourmet dining and overnight accommodation en route.
Winery Tours
That visitors to British Columbia can enjoy outstanding wines should come as no surprise. The province boasts five regions, the most famous of which is Okanagan Valley, home to over 250 wineries. Winery tours around the city of Kelowna allow visitors to taste the best of the province's Rieslings, sparkling wines and, of course, the mighty Pinot Noir.
Fly Fishing
Some of the world's finest fly fishing waters can be found in British Columbia's mountains. It's a chance for accomplished anglers to fish for salmon, trout, steelhead and char, and for novices to learn to cast, tie a fly and land their first fish under the watchful eye of an experienced gillie. Luxury lodge accommodation can be arranged.
Heli-Skiing and Heli-Hiking
Throughout the year, even the most remote alpine terrain is accessible when reached by helicopter. Experienced skiers and snowboarders can enjoy the thrill of being the first to test their skills on pristine mountain slopes high above their resort. And when the snows melt, faraway alpine trails take walkers above the clouds for an exhilarating backcountry adventure.
