Fall Things to Do & Thanksgiving in the Columbia Valley

Gather with family & friends this fall at Fairmont Hot Springs or Panorama Mountain. Enjoy time unwinding and reconnecting in the mountains - soak in the hot springs, hike among the golden larch trees or relax by the fire with a book.

Here are some ideas to celebrate Thanksgiving in the Columbia Valley:

• Hike local trails such as; the Hoodoos, Mount Swansea or the Bugaboos
• Enjoy a leisurely ride through the town of Fairmont or hit the woodland slopes for some mountain action. Rent bikes at Fairmont Hot Springs Resort or Columbia Cycle in Invermere.
• Visit the Arrowhead Brewery in Invermere, BC
• Pick up a fresh turkey, sides and pumpkin pie for a fantastic Thanksgiving meal at Fairmont Mountainside Market or Sobeys; or save the dirty dishes and go out to eat.
• Get in a round or two of golf before golf season is over. Hit the links with a friend at Copper Point, Fairmont Hot Springs Golf Courses or Eagle Ranch. Or the whole family can join in the fun at Windermere Valley Golf Course or Fairmont Hot Springs’ Creekside Course.
