Sun Peaks Resort to Kelowna Airport (YLW)

About travelling from Sun Peaks Resort, BC to Kelowna Airport (YLW)

Sun Peaks blends big-mountain terrain with a relaxed, alpine-village feel, making it one of British Columbia’s top year-round resorts. About 2 hours 45 minutes from Kelowna Airport, the resort spans over 4,000 acres across Mt. Tod, Sundance Mountain, and Morrisey with each offering a different flavour of skiing. You’ll find everything from perfectly groomed pistes to nicely spaced trees, family-friendly runs, and quieter powder zones fed by the region’s dry snowfall.

The pedestrian village is compact and welcoming, offering slope-side lodging and plenty of ski-in/ski-out convenience without the need for a car. Après is casual and unfussy: The Annex and Cahilty Creek Kitchen & Taproom are popular for pints and snacks, while Oya offers a great sushi option and Rocky Mountain Chocolate serves as a reliable stop for something sweet. Early risers often hit Café Nordique or Mountain High Pizza for a quick breakfast slice on the go.

Summer brings a complete shift in energy. The bike park draws riders from across Canada and the world, the alpine trail network opens for hiking, and the surrounding lakes are perfect for paddling or swimming. A mountain-side golf course and a steady calendar of live events, artisan fairs, and open-air performances add to the warm-weather appeal.
