Fairmont, located in the heart of the Columbia River Valley, is the ideal year-round vacation destination for those looking for adventure, variety or serenity.
Those who come to the valley return year after year to explore and to capture the essence of this wonderful land. Fairmont is nestled at the start of the mighty Columbia River, and is surrounded by the Canadian Rocky Mountains on one side and the Purcell Mountains on the other.
The valley springs to life in the summer with boating, swimming, white water rafting, water skiing, hiking, mountain climbing or just slow lazy walks on long summer days. The rivers and lakes are teaming with fish and while they can satisfy the young and novice fishermen in your group or family, they can also challenge the most advanced fly fishing experts in the land.
A golfers paradise, Fairmont is located at the very centre of the best golfing available up and down the majestic Columbia River Valley. Stretching from Golden B.C, to Radium, Invermere, Fairmont, Kimberly (Trickle Creek) and Fernie, the golfing resorts cater to all levels of play, from the novice to the experts. Private and group lessons are available to make the vacation fun for everyone.
The Winter Season gives those who love the valley, just another reason to return. Experience Skiing and Boarding like never before. Speed down Canada's longest and second longest verticals in the country, or go even higher with Heli-Skiing and Boarding. From the downhill extreme, to the cross country serene, experience Panorama, Kicking Horse, Fairmont, Kimberly and of course Fernie.
Experience Snow-Hot bathing in the world famous Fairmont Hot Springs, Radium Hot Springs or explore on your own to find the O-Natural Hot Springs that abound in the valley. At the end of the day, cozy up to a nice warm crackling fire and enjoy something soothing and warm to drink. Recall the memories of this day and start dreaming about your adventures of tomorrow.
Everyone who comes will easily find a souvenir that will remind them of the time they have spent here and remind them why they have a need to return, year after year.
