Why Film in Sun Peaks?
- It’s an ideal location for film productions seeking mountain scenery year-round. During winter, the village maintains a snow base for ski-through access, creating a winter wonderland complete with twinkling lights. In summer, the area offers stunning mountain views, soaked in sun and blanketed with alpine wildflowers.
- The pedestrian-only village offers a European look and feel. Surrounding neighbourhoods include houses, chalets, condos and townhouses.
- The heart of the village features hotels and lodges surrounding an intimate collection of locally owned boutique shops, restaurants, cafes and pubs lining a pedestrian-only cobblestone street known as the Village Stroll.
- Sun Peaks’ controlled recreation area spans more than 10,000 acres of varied terrain, including streams, bridges, a golf course, and kilometres of hiking, biking, Nordic and snowshoe trails in the valley and alpine. Sun Peaks is the second-largest ski area in Canada, with more than 4,000 acres of skiable terrain.
- The Sun Peaks Centre, located across from the Village Stroll, includes an open-air, covered NHL-sized ice rink, a fitness gym, and meeting and conference facilities.
- Tourism Sun Peaks is pleased to offer guidance and support as you begin your journey.
