It's a must visit! Ski/snowboard, mountain biking, sightseeing, hiking and grizzly bear refuge etc.

It's a must! The big mountain alpine skiing experience at one of the world's best skiing terrain and resort. We recommend skiing/snowboarding during the winter months. Mountain biking during the summer into fall. Sightseeing, hiking and don't forget to visit the 20 acre Grizzly bear refuge as well - it's well worth the trip! At the base of Kicking Horse Mountain Resort - there's a cafe called double black that serves great coffee, snacks and light bites. Our personal favourite is their fresh sourdough bread, smoked salmon on toast, sweet treats etc.

For a unique outside dining experience you can now reserve your very own igloo during the winter months. Enjoy a relaxed cozy atmosphere while you view the beautiful mountain peaks & the glistening snow falling around you. Book your heated dome early & catch the sunset or come later for a night under the stars. We love their tacos + extra side of their spanish rice - why not? :)

Great relaxed environment, there's the indoor tasting room and the outdoor patio is opened during the summer months. If you're feeling a little peckish, you can also order tasty tacos from Reposados.
