The Pemberton Valley, nestled 8000 ft. below beautiful Mt. Currie, is home to a wide range of activities, restaurants, accomodation and more. Famed as the Seed-Potato capital, the 'Spud Valley' boasts some of the best produce available, from Pemberton Meadows Natural Beef to one of our newer additions, Schramm's Potato Vodka. Fresh Pemberton produce is available at many of our local restaurants, and it's quickly taking off all across the province. The Annual Slow Food Cycle every August is for sure the best showcase of the Valley- mixing biking, delicious food and gorgeous scenery all into one.
After filling up on the local cuisine nothing is better then mixing in some adventure - in the Pemberon Valley, opportunities are unlimited whether you want to just relax in some Hot Springs or test your limits Sky Diving. Jet Boating with a LEGENDARY big mountain skiier, Paragliding with a professional stunt man, or going for a horse back ride with your grandparents, you can do it all right here. We've got two top-notch golf courses, Big Sky and the Meadows and multiple Horseback Riding companies. The Pemberton area is also home to a lot of great hiking and biking opportunities, fishing spots, hot springs, and camping sites, and no matter where you go, beautiful scenery is trailing verrry close behind.
Bellies full and bodies worn out? No problem. Finding a place to crash is easy, with 11 B&Bs, 2 Hotels, 1 Motel, 2 Hostels and a whhhhole lot of campsites (provincial, private and recreational). Prices range from affordable to 'Whistler-esque', so come stop by the Visitor Centre and we'll be happy to find a place to suit your vacation perfectly!
But seriously, this place is awesome, fun for the whole family, from the museum-bound to the extreme-seekers so come for a visit, and be sure to stop by the visitor center on Highway 99 across from Petro canada.
see you soon!
