Parks & Trails

Roam Free

From the shores of Christina Lake to the peaks of Granby Park, Boundary Country’s parks and trails offer space to roam, relax or explore. Walk historic rail routes, snowshoe alpine loops or unwind in a riverside campground. With hundreds of kilometres of connected trails and natural spaces, this is the BC outdoors at its most welcoming.

Activities

Ride or walk the iconic Trans Canada Trail along the Kettle Valley and Columbia & Western Rail Trails. Camp at Christina Lake or hike to Cascade Falls. Explore Granby Provincial Park’s wilderness, visit Jewel Lake for paddling and ice fishing or spot wildlife in Gilpin Grasslands. With family-friendly paths and a deep backcountry, there’s a trail or park for every pace or activity level.

All-Season Alpine Fun

All-Season Alpine Fun

In the winter, enjoy 119 designated alpine trails and over 25 km of Nordic trails. Here you’ll find everything from perfectly groomed runs to deep powder challenges. In the summer, explore Big White's mountain biking scene and, if you don't bike, hike the alpine trails or come for the festivals and events.

A person walks on a narrow snow-covered trail through a forest of tall pine trees in Big White, each branch heavily blanketed with snow under a bright blue sky.

Skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing and more!

Beyond downhill skiing and snowboarding, set out on the Nordic cross-country ski trails, or try tubing & skating on the ice rink. Take a snowmobiling tour to see the whole mountain, or experience a unique Canadian adventure - Dog Sled Tours! With so many winter activities to offer, you can enjoy so much more than skiing at Big White.
