Revelstoke
From a charming community town to an emerging world-class resort
In January of 2007 an anticipated major public announcement was presented to the local citizens and various media personnel. A $1 billion four-season resort will be built and completed over 15 years which will include housing units, hotel suites, commercial and retail space, plus a signature golf course designed by Nick Faldo.
A picturesque four-season resort community of just over 8,000 residents, Revelstoke, B.C., is located on the Columbia River between the Selkirk and Monashee mountains, surrounded by deep glacial lakes and pristine alpine terrain. It's 190 km northeast of Kelowna, 631 km east of Vancouver and 413 km west of Calgary in southeastern B.C. Incorporated in 1899, Revelstoke is known for its Victorian-era heritage buildings, 12 metres or more of powder annually and small-town hospitality. Community events like farmers' markets, winter festivals and live summer entertainment make Revelstoke a popular year-round destination, in addition to the phenomenal ski and snowmobiling terrain.
