Area Tourist Attractions and Activities

There are many things to see and do in the Vernon area -- the northern Gateway to the Okanagan. Visitors are attracted by the moderate climate, spectacular scenery, wineries and unlimited recreational opportunities. Using Harbour Lights as your base, you can explore the Okanagan Valley, returning each night for rest and relaxation. Or, stop over when traveling between Vancouver and points further east. 

A great place for exploring the Okanagan Valley. Five minutes from the beach, 10-15 minutes from golfing, fishing, boating and trail rides. Downhill and cross-country skiing is just 45 minutes away at Silver Star. Silver Star Ski Hill has just been named the best place in North America for Nordic Skiing by the US Ski Team. The Norwegians have chosen Silver Star for their training for the 2010 Olympics.
