Sun Peaks, just 45 minutes from Kamloops, is a family-friendly and affordable year-round resort surrounded by Tod Mountain, Sundance Mountain, and Mount Morrisey. Striking a delicate balance between natural setting and convenient amenities, Sun Peaks Resort offers incredible access to downhill skiing, snowboarding, cross-country skiing in winter, and hiking, golfing and mountain biking in summer. Sun Peaks also caters to foodies with a great selection of restaurants, and annual food and wine festivals.
Sun Peaks VillageSun Peaks European-style village is nestled at the centre of the resort's three mountains. The village features shopping boutiques, restaurants, and accommodations, all within easy walking distance. As well, the village is just minutes from the resort's chairlifts and an endless array of winter and summer activities.
Festivals and EventsVery few weeks go by at Sun Peaks Resort without a festival or event: The Winter Wine Festival in mid-winter matches the finest wines of the Okanagan Valley with gourmet foods; the Alpine Blossom Festival in July offers nature tours and wildlife walks in the alpine; and the Autumn Bounty Festival in October celebrates the culinary offerings in the Thompson Okanagan region.
