Alpine Beauty Within Reach
Some places make you breathe a little deeper. At Sun Peaks, alpine views, wildflower meadows, and scenic trails are easy to reach and open to everyone.
With 22 designated hiking and walking trails, you can wander at your own pace, choosing anything from gentle sightseeing strolls to higher alpine routes with expansive mountain views and a peaceful stop at Tod Lake. Many trails start right from the village. Or, if you’d prefer a lift, ride the Sunburst Express Chairlift to mid-mountain at 1,850 metres, where wide-open views and alpine terrain are just steps away. From here, trails lead into the high country, letting you experience the colour and calm of the alpine without the effort of a long climb. When your day winds down, ride the chairlift back to the village and save your legs for tomorrow.
With long summer days and lifts operating into the evening, there’s no need to rush. Take your time. Let the day unfold. The alpine is waiting.
ALPINE WILDFLOWERS ARE IN FULL BLOOM
The alpine wildflowers at Sun Peaks are in full bloom. Ride the Sunburst Express Chairlift to access the alpine, then hike to Top of the World and Juniper Ridge Trail for the best viewing, or enjoy a gentler stroll along Vista Trail through subalpine forest and mountainside meadows.
Did you know that Sun Peaks has a disc golf course?
Take your game to new heights, literally. Sun Peaks is home to a disc golf course located at the top of the Sunburst Express chairlift. Access is included with a lift ticket or season pass, and once you're there, it's free to play. Winding through forested fairways and natural alpine terrain at 1,844 metres, this hidden gem offers a fun challenge for all skill levels.
Need Disc Golf Discs? Rent them from the Activities Sales Desk in the Village Day Lodge for $5.00 per disc, plus tax.
