- Points of Interest
Known as BC’s ‘playground’, the azure blue waters of Lake Okanagan and the stunning vistas of the surrounding vineyards are only two of the major draws to this area. The northern tip of Mexico’s Sonora Desert actually ends here in the rich, lush countryside of British Columbia’s interior. The Okanagan’s fall wine tours attract visitors from across Europe and North America. Winter activities include the choice of more than four regional ski resorts. With over 60 courses in the region, the Thompson Okanagan is also a golfer's paradise, with panoramic views guaranteed to enrich the sporting experience. For those wishing to immerse themselves in other sports, the region also offers a host of outdoor activities, including mountain biking and canoeing, at the World Heritage site, Mount Robson Provincial Park.
