Food scene
Walking distance from the Chalet. Great place to grab an apres drink or some decent food. Certainly not the best food in Golden but you can't beat the location.

Amazing taco and great margaritas. New in town so doesn't come up on Trip Advisor restaurant searches (or never used to at least).

Rated one of the best 10 restaurants in Canada.....and the views are incredible. Located at the top of Kicking Horse Resort right when you get off the Gondola.

Canada’s highest suspension bridge and it only just open in the summer of 2021! At 130 meters (426 feet) above the canyon, you’ll experience such a thrill walking over it and taking in all the amazing views of the Columbia Valley.
They also have Ziplining here and a Giant Canyon Swing.

An obvious one in the winter with world class powder skiing. In the summer take the gondola up to do the short T1 hike or the longer T2 hike. The view is unbelievable from up there.

Located within Yoho National Park, located close to Golden, just off the Trans-Canada Highway. If you’re in the area on a sunny day, this is one of the best lakes to visit. It is absolutely made for kayaking and canoeing, with calm and clear waters. And, as the largest lake in the park, there’s lots of lake to explore!

Catching a glimpse of a grizzly bear is a little nerve-wracking… and yet, who doesn’t want to see a bear? The Grizzly Bear Interpretive Center at the Kicking Horse Resort is home to Boo, the resident grizzly. Boo was a rescue and now lives within the mountainside habitat.

The hike to Wapta Falls is located within Yoho National Park. It’s a pretty short hike at just 2.3km/1.4mi with only 60 meters of elevation gain. You’ll be rewarded with a pretty epic view of the falls at the end of the hike! Take a snack or picnic lunch to spend some time and soak in the view.

City/town information
An excellent day trip from Golden is Revelstoke, about 150km away. The drive along the Trans-Canada highway is simply beautiful, worthy of some road-trip tunes and snacks! This road is known as Rogers Pass and it is absolutely stunning.

Via Ferrata at Kicking Horse Mountain
Via Ferrata means “iron road” in Italian and is a climbing route made with a steel cable. It’s fixed in the rock along the route, so climbers can secure themselves to the cable while they climb. It’s a great way to “rock climb” without needing any experience, skills, or upper body strength.
