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.

Alpine Blossom Season

One of the most memorable times to visit is during Alpine Blossom Season, typically peaking between mid-July and mid-August. Rolling meadows fill with vibrant wildflowers, and the mountain comes alive with colour and scent. Whether you’re walking, wandering or simply taking it all in from the chairlift, Sun Peaks offers one of the most accessible alpine wildflower experiences in BC. During the summer, to inquire about the status of the wildflower blooming season, contact Guest Services at 250.578.5474. 

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.
