The Okanagan Valley boasts long warm summers and short mild winters. Kelowna has miles of beautiful parkland and sandy beaches which provide wonderful opportunities for boating, swimming, water-skiing, windsurfing, and fishing. You can hit the links at one of our many golf courses nine months out of the year. In cooler months, our snow-capped mountains and pine-filled forests are a haven for skiers, boarders, snowmobilers, and outdoor adventurists of all types and levels.
Within a 10-minute drive from downtown, orchards and vineyards provide seasonal delights year-round. You can pluck ripe cherries or juicy peaches from trees, or spend a delightful day sampling the award-winning wares of our internationally acclaimed wineries.
