Discover snowmobiling in B.C.'s Kootenay Rockies
Amazing alpine sledding awaits in this gorgeous region
Situated in the southeastern corner of British Columbia is a region of striking natural beauty: the Kootenay Rockies. Home to five spectacular mountain ranges, including the magnificent Rockies, the region guarantees snowmobilers a peak experience. It isn't just for adrenalin junkies, though; there are plenty of sledding areas that are well suited for families and beginners.
