Nelson is the most enchanting and extraordinary city in B.C. As brazen as that may sound, it is no exaggeration.

Tucked in the lush Selkirk Mountains is the soulful community of Nelson, British Columbia. There is plenty of tranquility here and loads of action too. Whether you are here for relaxation or adventure, be revitalized. Some come for a visit and never leave; such is the power of this extraordinary town. Those who do leave, leave inspired.

Nelson is so extraordinary because it compromises nothing - we really have it all. This city is more than the sum of its individual attractions, though they themselves are quite impressive. The rolling Selkirk Mountians set against the West Arm of the Kootenay Lake offer scenery that defies comparison. Thanks to the mild climate here, you can ski without freezing in the winter and fish without scorching in the summer. This makes Nelson a paradise for outdoor sports enthusiasts. The award winning terrain and abundant snow make for amazing skiing, snowboarding, snowmobiling and snowshoeing in the winter. As the snow melts away in the Spring, the landscape becomes a mecca for golfing, hiking, fishing, climbing, mountain biking and bird watching.
