Winter: make a day of it
Chase fresh tracks at Winter Park Resort, explore Mary Jane, or build your confidence with a lesson. Then trade ski boots for skates, take a tubing run, or slow things down with a stroll through the village.
Summer: get outside, stay awhile
Head to Trestle Bike Park for downhill riding, take in the views from the scenic gondola, or challenge your crew to mini-golf. Add a little speed on the alpine slide, catch seasonal village music, or enjoy a gentler outing along the Fraser River Trail.
Make a summer day of it
Make a day of Grand Lake with lakeside exploring, kayaking, and a well-earned ice-cream stop. Unwind in the mineral pools at Hot Sulphur Springs Resort & Spa, or head through Grand Lake to Rocky Mountain National Park’s west side for hiking, wildlife watching, and mountain scenery.
