Planning a Rocky Mountains vacation? Valemount is the ideal place to start. Nestled between three majestic mountain ranges—the Cariboo, the Monashee and the Rocky Mountains—the Village of Valemount has earned its reputation as a year-round playground for travelers to British Columbia.

This friendly spot on Yellowhead Highway 5 offers all the services and amenities you need, with several gas stations, charming diners and restaurants, outdoor guides, attractions and a 9-hole golf course. The new Visitor Information Centre is located on Yellowhead Hwy 5 and is equipped to deal with all travel needs.

Comfort and charm combine together to make Valemount the perfect stop for visitors to BC or those on their way to Vancouver or Jasper National Park. Visitors can enjoy quality lodging with more than 30 friendly hotels, motels, inns and bed and breakfast options. Valemount also houses several campgrounds and RV parks.

Valemount is the perfect photography destination, as it is home to some of the most spectacular scenery in British Columbia, such as Mount Robson, the highest peak in the Canadian Rockies. Cranberry Marsh is also located here and boasts a 600-acre wildlife sanctuary a few kilometers south of the village, where it is houses over 90 species of birds as well as beaver, otter, moose and deer.

Valemount is best known for its winter activities. Visitors can explore hundreds of kilometers of snowmobile trails or create their own tracks heli skiing through fresh powder.
