Providing you with the most spectacular beauty of nature and wild life, the West Kootenays are one of the lesser frequented recreational areas of southern BC. Bavarian Lookout can be used as a "base camp" for the numerous summer and winter activities offered by the area - whether you hike, bike or just walk through the parks up to the Kokanee glacier, you will experience nature in its purest form. Take your ATV for an excursion, meet your friends for fishing and hunting, go on a photo safari or just relax while bird-watching. Kootenay lake provides all the water sports you can think of with boat mooring and rentals just minutes away. Winter activities are as numerous with snowshoeing, cross country skiing and snowmobiling directly from the house. Downhill, deep powder and back country skiing 55 km S/E at Whitewater Mountain, is ranked by Powder Magazine as the best powder ski area in North America. For the discriminating expert skier Nelson is one of the major hubs for cat and heli skiing in the Monashee, Selkirk and Purcell Mountains. Nelson, with its over 350 historic buildings, only 30 minutes to the west, is recognized as the cultural center of the district and regarded as the "Best Little Arts Town in Canada". Last but not least, 15 minutes north on HWY 31, all year round, after a hard day's work of vacationing you may relax in the pool or cave of the Ainsworth Hot Springs. |
