Noah's Ark Resort

Not content with pushing out turns on ski runs at Revelstoke Mountain Resort (half an hour’s drive)? Try your hand at mountain biking or rock climbing, paragliding, hiking, snowmobiling… the list is endless. For more high-octane activities, take to the waters for water-skiing and wakeboarding adventures at Mara Lake (35 minutes). If you’re happy with less hair-raising pursuits, head for one of several championship golf courses within half an hour’s drive, or fish for trout and salmon at Shuswap Lake (40 minutes). Spend downtime on the beach at Three Valley Lake (five minutes), and hike up to the viewing platform at Crazy Creek Falls (10 minutes) to peer out over the canyon and waterfalls. Family in tow? Make a stop at The Enchanted Forest to see fairy tales come to life or meet Winnie-the-Pooh and Captain Hook. Up the action levels again at neighbouring SkyTrek Adventure Park (both five minutes, open summer only) to test your nerve on zipwires, treetop rope courses and the climbing tower. Round off a busy day with a look at the vintage car collection and abandoned houses at Three Valley Gap ghost town (10 minutes).
