Hit the slopes between Ponderosa Trail and Patterson Ridge, or branch up into the Trickle Creek Golf Resort to bomb down the snow-covered greens Alternative: sledding not your thing? Try the Trickle Creek “S’mores” Fat Bike Tour offered through the Kimberley Alpine Resort. Each tour includes a few hours of fat biking through Kimberley’s winter wonderland, plus some post-bike fire-side relaxing with hot drinks and tasty s’mores After a morning spent in Kimberley’s snowscape, fill your afternoon with hot holds and great heights at Spirit Rock Climbing Centre . Spirit Rock is a great addition to any family’s holiday here, and offers After School youth programs, private one-on-one instructing, and Kids Rock Holiday Camps.

With everything from Mickey Mouse pancakes to Belgian waffles, this place is sure to bring a little sweetness to the start of your stay. After breakfast, head outdoors and hit the trails. Paved paths like the North Star Rails to Trails are great for early-season bike rides in the sun, while Sunflower Hill in the Kimberley Nature Park is a springtime favourite for wildflower hiking on our thawing trails If hiking or biking isn’t for you, opt for a late-season ski at the Kimberley Alpine Resort instead. Spring skiing here means soft, slushy turns, warm blue skies, and plenty of fun activities at the base of the mountain. Our suggestion: chase the sun around the Mountain and try to find our infamous “Bear cave” and sun pits Tip: Mountain bike and e-bike rentals can be found at our two wonderful bike shops: Black Dog Cycle & Ski and Bootleg Bike Co. Additionally, ski and snowboard rentals can be found at the base of the Mountain, and passes can be purchased at the Ticket Window or online here After a full day of hiking, biking, skiing (or all of the above), refresh with a big, family dinner at Stonefire Pizzeria in our downtown Platzl.

- Summer Itinerary: A 3-Day, Laid Back and Leisurely Guide to Cruising Kimberley | Tourism Kimberley
View All Itineraries Summer Itinerary: A 3-Day, Laid Back and Leisurely Guide to Cruising Kimberley Day 1: Swing On Swing into your first day in Kimberley by playing a round at one of our 3 Championship Golf Courses : Purcell Golf, Bootleg Gap Golf, and Trickle Creek Golf Resort. Be it 9 or 18 holes, all 3 courses are known for their expansive views and playability, and make for a memorable start to any stay here. Don’t forget to grab a drink on one of the sunny course patios, or stick around into the evening for live music on the deck Looking for a shorter day on the links? Hit the driving ranges at one of our 3 courses, or put your putting to the test with mini golf at the Kimberley Riverside Campground Tip: round out a shorter golf day by checking out the Marysville Falls, or with an easy saunter up Sunflower Hill in the Kimberley Nature Park. Good news: the golf courses have you covered for all your refreshment needs. Our suggestion? Grab breakfast on Trickle Creek’s picturesque patio and a late lunch or dinner at either Purcell Golf or Bootleg Gap Golf before heading to the Sullivan Pub for a well-deserved night-cap at the end of your first day Day 2: Soak Up Soak up Kimberley’s natural side by settling into the peace and quiet of the St. Mary’s Valley. Located in Kimberley’s backyard, the St. Mary’s Valley is home to St. Mary Lake, St. Mary River and the Purcell Mountains, and is the perfect starting point for an easy-breezy second day in Kimberley. If berry-picking and bird-watching are up your alley, tuck into the shores and hillsides surrounding St. Mary Lake, and don’t forget to bring your binoculars. Legend has it that huckleberries grow wild in these parts, and that budding ornithologists can spot over 40 different species of birds here Tip: while locals may not be willing to share their absolute favourite picking spots, we hear they can be sweet-talked into sharing the huckleberry wealth...just promise them a pie or two. If your idea of fun looks less land-locked, St. Mary’s Valley is your place for a lazy paddle on the lake, or a morning spent casting flies and reeling in trout on the river. Check out the Kootenay Rafting Co. for kayak or paddleboard rentals, or book in with Kimberley Fly Fishing for a guided fishing tour Plan for a lake-side picnic and load up on fresh-baked muffins and sandwiches from Stoke Market, or a salad or rice bowl from Mountain Glass Bistro. Finish your relaxing day in the fresh air with a leisurely multi-course Bavarian Feast at The Old Bauernhaus Restaurant. Be sure to ask your server about the origins and Bavarian roots of this 350-year-old building, as you tuck into each delicious course Day 3: Saunter Round out your final day in Kimberley by staying closer to the downtown core and discovering Kimberley’s culture. Kimberley’s downtown, known as the Platzl, is your one-stop shop for all things retail, art, and history. Start your morning by heading underground and digging into Kimberley’s history with Kimberley’s Underground Mining Railway tour. This 2-hour interpretive tour burrows into the origins of the Sullivan Mine and boasts birds-eye-views of Kimberley along the way. Don’t forget to say “hi” to Bill while you’re there, and snap a picture of famed Kimberley mascot Happy Hans on your way back to the Platzl Grab a light lunch from Mountain Grass Gallery & Bistro, then peruse favourite Platzl shops like Talaria Footwear and OU Olive Oils, before checking out the art on display at Centre 64 Tip: be sure to check out Centre 64’s events calendar for upcoming entertainment. (We hear the Saltwater Sessions are not to be missed). Cruising through town mid-week? Check out local produce and artisanal goods at the Thursday Farmers’ Market, before capping off your final day here with cocktails and charcuterie on the patio at Bohemian Spirits Tip: Local Market favourites include Mama’s Dumplings, Niwa’s Bread, and fresh-squeezed lemonade from the folks at Stoke. Looking to include some biking, hiking, horseback riding, or more cultural events into your trip? While 3 days are a great starting point to soak up Kimberley’s chiller side, there’s so much more to discover here. Come to unwind, and stay a little longer to fully recharge. Or, come back for cool times and warm welcomes in the winter months . We can’t wait to have you back.

- The Platzl: A Tour of Kimberley's Town Centre | Tourism Kimberley
The Platzl: A Tour of Kimberley's Town Centre Welcome to Kimberley! Before you embark on your big adventures, be sure to get your bearings first by enjoying a walking tour through our endearing town centre: the Platzl. While this tour can be completed during a short visit through town, we encourage you to take your time to really soak up the Platzl magic and appreciate all the small things that make our home so special. Let’s start by orienting ourselves to the “downtown” core. The Platzl is our pedestrian-only main street and the true heart of our community. It is easily accessed by strollers or wheelchair users and features a variety of shops, restaurants, arts, and Kimberley culture. At the far end of the main Platzl parking area, you’ll find the Kimberley Visitor Centre . Our Visitor Centre comes equipped with an electric vehicle charging station, public washrooms, and enough insider tips to set you up for success during your stay. Think of our “downtown” as a grid that consists of 2 intersecting streets and 1 traffic light. So, while you can get lost in your thoughts here, it’s pretty hard to lose yourself in any kind of bustle. Let’s begin our tour by starting at the Visitor Centre. From the front doors, you have a clear view of the back of the Platzl. Enter through the West end of the Platzl, step into the Kimberley Public Library on your left, and head upstairs to find the... Recommended Tour time: 2-4 hours 1. Kimberley Heritage Museum Embrace our spirit of discovery with a visit to the Kimberley Heritage Museum . This non-profit Museum is located on the top floor of the Kimberley Public Library and showcases local stories, historical artifacts, and a rotating feature exhibit. With over 10,000 artifacts and over 11,000 historical pictures, the Kimberley Heritage Museum is a must-see for any visitor. A small fee is required to enter the Heritage Museum, with all admissions helping to support the Kimberley District Heritage Society. Note: while the Kimberley Heritage Museum mainly focuses on the town history from the days of the Sullivan Mine onwards, the larger history of the region can be gained by a visit to the Ktunaxa Interpretive Centre at the St. Eugene Golf Resort & Casino . This is a short 20-minute drive away from Kimberley and is a great side-trip to any stay here. After the Museum, cruise past, or stop in at, the The Drift Cafe , OU Olive Oils , and the Hourglass Lounge before getting a taste of Kimberley’s former flavour at the... 2. Happy Hans Cuckoo Clock Built in the 1970s by Bill Spence and Dick Bova, the Happy Hans Cuckoo Clock was constructed as a labour of love to help set Kimberley apart. While we have since shed our Bavarian ways, we still like to have a laugh, share a past memory, and clink beer steins with our beloved mascot, Happy Hans, every now and then. Put a loonie in the Clock to catch a glimpse of Mr. Happy Hans himself. From the Clock, hang a left in front of the Platzl Gazebo and stroll towards the North end of the Platzl. Check out shops like Healing Hollow and Tumbled Earth along the way, or stop for a bite at Stonefire Pizzeria or The Shed. Next, get ready to refresh at the…. 3. Platzl Water Feature Every saunter through the Platzl deserves a little water break. The Platzl Water Feature is a series of small fountains that operate throughout the warmer months. This feature offers kids, adults, and dogs alike a place to cool off in the heat of summer or catch some rays while cruising through the Platzl shops and restaurants. Splash in the cool water here, or grab a cone from La Lune Candy Shoppe to enjoy while seated on the rock features or benches alongside the water fountains. After stopping for a cheeky cool-off in the Platzl Water Feature, stroll through the North end of the Platzl and 70m up Deer Park Avenue to discover Kimberley’s artistic side at…. 4. Centre 64 Centre 64 is our arts and culture hub here in Kimberley. It’s a place to celebrate local, fine art exhibits, live entertainment, and creative workshops for kids and adults alike. The gallery here showcases works from a variety of local and regional artists and features rotating themes throughout the year. Entry into the art gallery is free or by donation, with all donations helping to support the non-profit Centre 64 Society. For those who love art, a visit to Centre 64 is well worth the inclusion into any Kimberley itinerary. Head back down Deer Park Ave., and turn left before re-entering the Platzl. Wander a couple of hundred meters down Howard Street for a quick rest, refresh, and view-taking at... 5. Overtime Beer Works and the Blue Stairs Overtime Beer Works labels itself as “an honest, modest, hard-working beer, more than a bit above average,” and honestly… we couldn’t agree more. Overtime is a place where the whole family (kids and dogs included) can meet to enjoy a local brew, a cold soda, or some takeout fare. Plus, we hear the bocce pit on the outdoor patio goes great with a pint in hand. Next to Overtime, check out one of the iconic staircases that dot Kimberley’s landscape. The “Blue Stairs” lead to Selkirk Secondary School, and also boast one of the best views of the Platzl and Kimberley Alpine Resort. Enjoy the short climb up to soak in the views, then head back down and help yourself to another pint. You deserve it. Head left out the doors of Overtime, but don’t cross the street just yet. A few steps down the road you’ll find the... 6. Kimberley Veteran Memorial Park What once was a former gas station, has now been converted into a beautiful green space that commemorates our veterans and their participation in the World Wars and peacekeeping missions. The Kimberley Veteran Memorial Park came to fruition in 2017 and has become a centrepiece in the community. This is a place to pause during your tour, have a seat, and soak up a little silence before reentering our vibrant Platzl. Next, cross Wallinger Avenue to enter the East end of the Platzl. Take some time to satisfy your inner child with a trip to the local candy shop, La Lune de Chocolat Candy Shoppe, or with a stop at Treehouse Toy Co. Enjoy a little retail therapy in shops like Moody Bee and Arrow & Axe along the way before exiting the South end of the Platzl and walking through the main Platzl parking area to gaze upon the.... 7. Mark Creek Mark Creek flows right alongside our downtown core and add some scenic beauty to our surroundings all throughout the year. Work began in 2012 to rehabilitate and naturalize the Mark Creek channel, and this town waterway has now become a favourite feature to gaze upon for locals and visitors alike. Hot tip: we recommend enjoying a classic cocktail on the Bohemian Spirits patio while enjoying the peacceful gurgle of the Creek beside you. Note: You may have noticed the impressive, wooden footbridges along the creek. These bridges were crafted by local builders Tyee Homes. In 2014, Kimberley was honoured with a Community Recognition Award in acknowledgment of our log bridges. This particular award is handed out to communities that demonstrate exemplary advocacy for wood use in public structures. Can you spot the 4 different bridges around town? 8. Looking For More? Our Platzl is a few, short steps away from other great experiences. Keep things cool and refreshing with a visit to Grist & Mash Brewery, or, stick to the Platzl to spend more time in our great shops and restaurants with visits to the Pedal & Tap, Grow, Talaria Footwear & Adornment, and The Grater Good. Fancy a hike or a bike? Grab a Trail Map from the Visitor Centre and explore our more adventurous side. Our downtown core is a short walk or bike-ride away from access into the Kimberley Nature Park, the Lois Creek Trails, or the Rails To Trails. Each of these trail networks offers opportunities to stroll, ride, or glide a little further into our big and beautiful backyard. Just outside of the Platzl you’ll also find favourite attractions like Kimberley’s Underground Mining Railway , Kootenay Rafting Co. and Kimberley Fly Fishing . These 3 activity providers deliver unique and memorable experiences that make any vacation here extra special and full of fun.
