Two people ride fat bikes on a snowy forest trail.

Operations update: March 24, 2026

All fat bike trails are now closed for the season. Fat biking is not permitted on any fat bike or shared-use Nordic trails at this time. Thank you for your cooperation.

Explore Snow-Covered Trails on Two Wheels

Discover fat biking at Sun Peaks and explore scenic winter trails on two wheels. With oversized tires designed for riding on snow, fat bikes offer a fun way to enjoy the fresh mountain air and explore the resort's winter landscape.

Cruise along the Valley Trail network, winding from the village centre through the west end of the resort and into the east village. For a singletrack adventure close to the village, explore the Family Man Loop.

Sun Peaks also offers dedicated fat bike trails for different ability levels. Ride Green Goblin, a beginner-friendly green trail, progress to the blue-rated Phat Rabbit or challenge yourself on Black Rabbit. Snakes & Ladders provides climbing access to the dedicated trail network.

Looking for a longer ride? Explore the designated fat bike loop connecting the village, McGillivray Lake and Raven Return. Fat bikes are only permitted on Nordic trails designated for shared use.

View the trail map below to plan your route. Before heading out, review the Fat Biking Rules and Regulations and check current weather and snow conditions.
