Set between the Purcell and Rocky Mountains in British Columbia, the Columbia Valley is the 100-kilometer mountain corridor. Visitors from near and far are welcomed to a collection of natural, breathtaking experiences.
From the headwaters of the Columbia River in Canal Flats through to Radium Hot Springs, the valley is home to a collection of communities including Canal Flats, Fairmont Hot Springs, Windermere, Invermere, Panorama, Radium Hot Springs, Edgewater, Brisco, and Spillimacheen.
Here, visitors can move from alpine peaks to lakeshore beaches, from golf courses to hot springs, from quiet trails to vibrant local shops and restaurants, all in a single trip. Across its communities, the Columbia Valley welcomes visitors back year after year, with more to discover each time.
