Big White and Beyond
July 23rd 2026
Big White: A Summer Playground
Just 45 minutes from Kelowna, Big White transforms each spring into a high-altitude haven for RVers, adventurers, and families. Park your rig at the Black Forest Parking area—your basecamp for summer mountain fun. From there, the Village is just a five-minute walk away, where you’ll find restaurants, shops, festivals, and easy access to hiking, disc golf, and lift-assisted biking.
Plan your visit around one of Big White’s summer events—like the Craft & Country Beer & Music Festival—for even more fun.
Hike Through Wildflower-Filled Trails
When summer hits, Big White’s slopes explode in color. Wildflowers blanket the alpine trails, with Falcon Ridge offering some of the most stunning views. Take the Bullet Chair up with a scenic chairlift ticket, then explore lift-accessed hikes through blooming meadows. It’s nature, amplified—and totally family-friendly.
Bike Big White
From flow trails to techy descents, Bike Big White delivers lift-accessed riding for every level of downhill mountain biker. Hone your skills at the pump track, join a camp, or take a lesson. Need gear? Bike rentals are available in the Village Centre Mall.
Dine with a View
Après isn’t just a winter thing. After a day on the trails, chill out on The Woods’ patio in the Village Centre. With a fresh summer menu, mountain views, and cold local beers, it’s the perfect way to wind down. Other tasty spots include the The Woods, Cabin Kitchen + Bar, Snowshoe Sam’s, and The BullWheel. Explore all food and dining options throughout the village and make every meal part of the adventure.
Hunt for Fairy Doors
For a whimsical family activity, go on a fairy door scavenger hunt. Tucked along Big White’s scenic trails, these magical doors spark imagination and turn hikes into unforgettable adventures. Ride the lift or hike up and let curiosity lead the way.
Play a Round of Free Disc Golf
Grab your crew and hit the free nine-hole disc golf course nestled between the Village and Happy Valley. Bring your own disc or rent one at the Village Centre Mall. It’s fun, easy to access, and totally worth a toss.
Overnight RV Parking
Book online and roll into the Black Forest parking area, just steps from the adventure. No hookups, but plenty of mountain views and quiet starlit nights. Walk to the Village for trails, food, and fun. Craving a little extra comfort? Book a stay at the Inn at Big White—right in the Village and pool included.
Beyond Big White: Explore Boundary Country
East of Big White, Boundary Country is a hidden gem packed with riverside campsites, quiet lakes, and 2,000+ km of trails. Park by the Kettle River and float the day away or seek solitude at Jewel or Conkle Lake. Hike, bike, or explore backcountry paths that wind through forests and history. Cap it off at Christina Lake, with warm water, sunny beaches, and a laid-back vibe perfect for one last summer recharge.
