Travel through the Eagle Valley and Revelstoke, and you’re travelling on some of the most beautiful roadways in Canada. Nestled between the Monashee and Columbia mountain ranges, the alpine city of Revelstoke has something to offer in every season.

During the summer months, visitors are drawn to the Grizzly Plaza where there is nightly entertainment in the band shell. Strolling through the beautifully restored downtown, you can see over 60 buildings that date back to the late 1800’s. Heritage Walking Tours are available with the Revelstoke Museum & Archives.

Snowmobile opportunities, alpine and cross-country skiing are all plentiful during the winter months.

Adventure abounds in and around Revelstoke. Mount Revelstoke and Glacier National Park are renowned for recreational climbing, wildlife viewing and hiking. Alpine meadow hiking, glacier hiking and hut-to-hut hiking can all be done through outfitters who organize heli-excursions in the area. River tours and white water rafting are also available.
