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.
Activities:
- Wineries - tour facilities and taste internationally recognized wines from
over 100 wineries throughout the Okanagan.
