Sports & Recreation

Living the lifestyle is where it is at in Nelson, B.C. - a virtual four-season playground located in a breathtaking rural setting.

Both residents and visitors enjoy a variety of indoor/outdoor sports and recreational activities all year around in Nelson.

The adventurous can ski or snowboard down a mountain, scale a rock-climbing wall, mountain bike through the forest and ski-do along back country acreage.

If a more relaxed sport beckons you, try biking, golfing, bowling or hiking.

From the amateur to the professional, there is much to see and do. On a typical summer day you can soak up the sun, water ski or rent a canoe. During the chillier months take in a local hockey game after a day on the slopes.

Whichever activity you choose… keeping fit and staying healthy is what the Kootenays is all about.
