From leisurely cross country or alpine meadow mountain biking or hiking to extreme downhill thrills at one of the best up & coming bike parks in the world, Sun Peaks has something for everyone and makes for a great summer vacation destination.  The summer of 2022 also saw Sundance Mountain opening with new lift-accessed bike trails as well as new free to ride trails and the summer of 2024 will have even more trails to explore

Sun Peaks typically enjoys sunny warm days and cool mountain nights which is perfect for an Okanagan holiday.

And better yet, when everyone else is raising their accommodation pricing for summer holidays, Sun Peaks offers low, low summer prices.

We also offer great nightly and weekly rates on our Best Sun Peaks condo or Best Sun Peaks Townhouse or other summer Sun Peaks accommodation anytime after the end of ski season so if you want a great deal and some stress relief come on up!

Sun Peaks offers a great climate, fantastic prices, easy access to so many activities, and a wonderful, safe family holiday destination - come on up and see for yourself.
