Columbia
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.
