See & Do

There's so much to see and do in Vernon - a little slice of paradise surrounded by lakes, golf courses, hike and bike paths and trails and everything else that the gorgeous Okanagan has to offer. 

Within the greater Vernon area you'll find Okanagan attractions aplenty: arts, culture, sports, music, incredible restaurants, artisan foods, a bounty of agriculture and lots of celebrations. Pet a goat, build an ice sculpture, learn about bees, explore a farmers' market, swim, fish, kayak, BMX, explore our downtown, roam our parks, discover our back country, relax at a spa, visit a renowned Okanagan winery or, just minutes away, enjoy some of the best downhill and cross-country skiing Canada has to offer.

Yes, our small city packs a big punch when it comes to things to see and do: small-town charm and friendly locals meld with world class amenities, sights and sounds to create a year-round destination. Soak up the warmer months on our sun-drenched beaches, then, when the weather turns chilly, bundle up and head for the hills and a winter wonderland sought after by visitors from around the world. Our story is one of incredible views, sun-soaked summers, champagne powder winters, endless exploration, and people so friendly you'll never want to leave. And don't worry if you don't get to see and do it all, we will always welcome you back again!
