What’s ‘more’ really mean? At our resort, more means discovering new perspectives. It’s about experiencing the Pure Canada found in high places, among good people in a spectacular setting.

What’s so amazing about Panorama?

For some it’s the amazing adventures. For others, it’s the solace. There’s those who stay to get away

from it all. And there’s those who visit because everything’s here.

We’ve heard it again and again

“These mountains are magical.”

Go ahead, call it magic. But we’re also of the opinion that a summer vacation should be a vacation. And a mountain resort should be a resort. And those who journey to be here in the mountains are treasured guests and we treat

them as such. We believe mountains make memories and breathe new life into experiences like never before. We hold it a high honour to share our resort with those who are are looking for ‘more.’ That’s our kind of magic.

There’s certainly no shortage of reasons to vacation at Panorama Mountain Resort. So choose a reason, and come on up.

See you soon!

B R I L L I A N T !( The art of looking ahead. )


Some long to be in the mountains. Others simply belong in the mountains. Panorama has been a destination resort for 50 plus years, but for discerning enthusiasts it’s also been a place with a deeper connection. For many, Panorama is where the love of mountains is born, and it is a destination to return to again and again. For some, however, it is a place to invest in, a place to call home.

This is no upstart, or short-term play. Panorama is one of Canada’s original and earliest operating resorts. For over half a century years it’s weathered market fluctuations, developed strategically and planned for the future.

A legacy of smart planning has enabled Panorama to offer distinctive value at some of the most competitive rates in the Canadian Mountain resort real-estate

market. Vacation home ownership in the heart of this fully built-out resort with full amenities are incredibly affordable.

Sometimes ‘more to the mountains’ means connecting with a higher place, and investing in a brilliant story together.

Tomorrow is brilliant. Discover how you can share in our future and share in our mountains. Call 1.250.688.5515 or visit PanoramaResortRealEstate.ca

Arrive, settle in, and forget about everything else. The advantage of staying in a mountain village is that once you’ve parked, you’ve arrived. No endless trips or shuttling around. It’s all here.

All units in our lodges and townhomes feature a fully

equipped kitchen, comfortable living room, fireplace,

TV & DVD player, mountain views and more. The resort

also features the Pine Inn, a budget-friendly simple

accommodation situated in the central village.

Some hunger for adventure. And some adventurers get hungry (especially the small ones). We’re here for both.

The taste of Pure Canada is up here. The best way to enrich alpine vacations involves the simple addition of taste.

Panorama has some incredibly savoury, tasty and fresh

food dining experiences to choose from. There’s rustic,

elegant, and everything between down-to-earth and

up-in-the-clouds. A delicious adventure awaits.

What do you do on a vacation at a resort in the

mountains? Well, we believe the first answer is: Whatever

you want! It’s a vacation! ‘Whatever you want’ might mean

lounging in the large mountain side pool and waterslide

complex. It might mean strolling in the alpine or riding

the chairlift. It could mean horseback riding, downhill

mountain biking, whitewater rafting, canoeing or fishing.

Or it could mean dining, or taking in a spa. Then again,

‘whatever you want’ could mean the best vacation activity

ever: doing absolutely nothing at all.

Remember, the first thing to do is to arrive. After that, we’ll be happy to get up to something with you!

( The only one that matters to us, is yours. )

There’s all kinds of riding up here.

There’s family friendly trails in and around the resort. And there’s some extraordinary downhill riding: Panorama has hosted a Canada Cup Downhill Mountain Bike event and is maintained by a core group of riders. There’s lessons, equipment and mountain bike rentals available, so there’s no excuse not to be happy in the saddle.

M O U N T A I N B I K E P A R K

Accessed by the Mile 1 Express, the Mountain Bike Park offers trails for all abilities: from gentle cruisers to technical descents with natural and manmade features.

Biking maps are available throughout the village.

Q: What happens when you combine kids with fresh air, mountains and more fun than you can throw a bouncy castle at? A: Sleep.

But while they’re awake, there’s mountains of fun and programs for kids. From bouncy castles to waterslides and chairlift rides, kids have lots to smile about. And parents do too! Because Panorama’s children’s programs are brilliantly staffed and organized, while the kids are away parents can play!

Children’s programs include Wee Wascals Childcare: professional day care for children ages 37 months to 5 years old. Panorama Kids Club offers Fun-filled full-day and half-day adventures for kids ages 6-12, and there’s also an assortment of multi-day specialty camps that may

include Wilderness Skills, Cooking, Arts and more.

For many people, after they complete an epic Greywolf

round they have a brand new favourite. Located in a

spectacular alpine setting at Panorama Mountain Resort,

Greywolf is a course that simply wins people over, again

and again. Recognized by Golf Digest as one of the

Top-100 Courses in the World Outside of the United States,

Greywolf is the quintessential pinnacle of mountain golf —

it is authentic mountain play.

The course is designed by talented Canadian architect

Doug Carrick, who has built many of Canada’s best,

contemporary courses. Greywolf features several

stunning holes that create lasting impressions. The

dynamite collection of par-3s, is capped by the diabolical

Cliffhanger hole — unquestionably one of the best in the

world. With beautifully sculpted bentgrass fairways and

hair-raising elevation changes, a single round at Greywolf

may only be surpassed by playing another round.

For tee times call: 1.888.473.9965

There’s more to Greywolf. Discover your next mountain golf adventure at www.GreywolfGolf.com

For every mountain, there’s a valley. Some of Panorama’s best adventures are situated where the mountains begin, at Invermere-on-the-Lake.

Invermere-on-the-Lake is situated in the beautiful

Columbia Valley, just a 20 minute drive from Panorama

Mountain Resort. This quaint downtown district rests

beneath the Rocky Mountains and boasts a relaxed

atmosphere with trendy, funky boutiques and fine

restaurants, cafes, pubs, galleries, gift and specialty

shops, grocery stores, pharmacies, a bookstore, a deli and

bakery. There’s street markets, summer events, a coffee

roastery, craft beer, and more.

The Columbia Valley is also is home to hot springs in

both Fairmont and Radium, as well as numerous public

beaches and parks. Lake Windermere offers incredible

opportunities for boating, stand-up paddleboarding,

swimming and other water sports.

Why Winter? The secret’s in the silence of the

snowfall. It’s in the hollers of the hedonists, hell-bent

on the pursuit of the deep, the steep and the soft.

It’s discerned in the surgical arcs across a canvas of

corduroy. It’s felt in the rumble of the rotor, the sting

on the cheek and the glow in the legs.

Why Winter? It’s seen in the hot pools under a

cold night sky. It’s apparent in the miles of brilliant

mountain vistas. It’s in the hearts of those who make

this place special. And it’s in the minds of those who

return again and again to this mountain resort.

Why Winter? Perhaps it’s because Panorama is one

of Canada’s most established resort villages, and has

been home to amazing ski vacations for over half

a century. Perhaps it’s because our diverse terrain

and consistent weather ensures we’re open every

day. Perhaps, unlike many ski areas, it’s because

Panorama’s not just another place to ride; it’s a

destination resort.
