Red Mountain Resort Vacations & Packages

Photo by Linda Nisbett


One of the oldest mountain resorts in Canada, this former mining territory has expanded to become an international hub for skiing in North America.

Take a moment to look around when you stand at the center of Red Mountain Resort. Here you are surrounded by old-growth forests, fresh powder and undisturbed mountainside snow just waiting to be carved. This 4,200-acre (1,700-hectare) winter destination features all that a seasoned skier or snowboarder could want. It also offers expert instruction and finely tuned rental equipment to those who need assistance reaching their winter sporting goals.

Brave the wild alpine on a snowcat skiing trip. Touch the sky and heli-ski downhill, a British Columbia specialty. Have an entire mountainside to yourself with one of Red Mountain’s customized Kootenay backcountry ski explorations. Traverse 24 miles (40 kilometers) of cross-country skiing trails.

Near to the resort is the town of Rossland, a favorite among outdoor lovers. During the summer, come here to practice your stroke on the golf course. Tour the verdant highlands on a road bike. Send dirt flying when you ride down numerous mountain biking trails. Hike into untouched parts of forests and inhale the piney air.

Rossland is also a great place to enjoy a leisurely day in summer. Wipe the sweat from your brow and step into the Rossland Brewery for a pint of handcrafted beer. Taste wines on a vineyard tour of the Kootenay region. Drop a fishing line in any of dozens of lakes. Prepare a delicious meal in your fully furnished lodge kitchen.

Fly into Calgary, Alberta and take a connecting flight to Castlegar, which is a 35-minute drive from Red Mountain.. Rossland is home to many accommodations to suit your budget, from ski-in/ski-outs to motels to luxury condominiums.

No matter how long you stay at Red Mountain Resort, winter travelers should book one evening to ski to Le Petit Fromage. On this trip you will savor a candle-lit three-course French cheese fondue meal just moments after cross-country skiing along a 1-mile (2-kilometer) trail.
