About Kootenay Rockies

Kootenay Rockies is British Columbia's unique, mountain oriented vacation region, located in the south-eastern corner of the province.

This region includes five different, impressive mountain ranges, including the Canadian Rockies that create magnificent mountain and river valleys each with their own nature and each offering an incredible variety of unequalled recreational and getaway opportunities.

Nestled in our mountains are many pretty towns. There's Nelson's Victorian character.

Revelstoke's alpine atmosphere and the Bavarian-style village of Kimberley. All enhanced by the richness of the season.

Visitors to the Kootenay Rockies region will truly experience the mountains of Canada - not just view the peaks from a distance. Vacations include clean, natural, uncrowded outdoor activities and experiences that reveal the lifestyle, the culture and the community of Canada's West. You will discover why we are known as 'British Columbia's Mountain Playground'.
