Summer can get busy fast. You try to leave room for spontaneous adventures, but those precious sunny weekends tend to fill up before you know it.
Make time to slow things down—while still satisfying your annual craving for summer exploration with family and friends. Read on to discover why Sun Peaks is the perfect place to rock up and chill out.
Mornings Are Made For Wandering
Summer mornings in Sun Peaks start gently. The sun rises steadily over green mountains, local wildlife stirs, and the village slowly comes to life.
Wake up with no obligations and soak in the cool morning air and peaceful landscape on a walk or hike. No planning required—chairlifts to breezy alpine meadows are just steps from your village accommodation. Or keep it simple with a relaxing stroll along the Valley Trail, starting in the village and extending East and West through the valley bottom.
The Village is the Vibe
Soak up the greenery and lively patios along the Village Walk. Meander through boutique shops featuring local artisanal goods, and take in the ArtZone displays scattered throughout this small but vibrant village. Grab a scoop (or two) of ice cream and settle onto a shady bench to watch the world go by.
On Sunday Market Days, stroll between tents filled with fresh produce, handmade crafts, and small-batch treats from regional vendors for a sweet slice of the Thompson-Okanagan community vibe.
