There is always something fun to do in Kamloops. This interior resort community in British Columbia is a place to stay and play - no matter what season you’re visiting. In this laid back city, you can enjoy boating, camping, cycling, golfing, skiing, snowmobiling, tobogganing and more. Just don’t try them all at once!
Many visitors come to Kamloops by way of the popular Rocky Mountaineer Railtours and stay to explore the gorgeous terrain perfect for hiking, rock climbing, mountain biking, wildlife watching and horseback riding.
And with over 2,000 hours of sunshine each year and very little rainfall, Kamloops has some of the region’s nicest weather. In other words, a city made for golfing. You’ll find more than 10 full-length golf courses here and an additional six courses in the surrounding area.
In the winter months, Kamloops transforms into a skier’s paradise. The region’s dry powder snow makes for stellar skiing and snowboarding – and Sun Peaks, Canada's third-largest ski resort, puts it to good use. There are plenty of great spots for snowmobiling, snowshoeing, ice fishing and dog sledding as well.
You’ll also find western culture alive and well in Kamloops. Historic farm and ranch tours give visitors a taste of the way life was in the 1800s.
