Snowshoeing Sun Peaks
Snowshoeing, Adam Stein photo
There's a saying, "If you can walk, you can snowshoe." No wonder it's considered one of winter's fastest growing sports.

A prime place to try shoeing is at Sun Peaks, which offers many kilometres (miles) of trails to explore.  Just strap on a pair of snowshoes and go!

Then there is the irresistible Snowshoe Fondue on Friday evenings, which consists of a guided snowshoe tour followed by a delectable fondue dinner and dessert.
