Hidden off the beaten track in the south east corner of the Purcell mountain range lies the City of Kimberley and nestled above it Kimberley Alpine Resort which is the second highest elevation of any city in Canada.

With the opening of the new Canadian Rockies International Airport at Cranbrook Kimberley Alpine Resort will become the easiest Canadian Ski Resort for the international traveller to reach. The ski resort offers superb winter sports including downhill and cross country skiing, snow shoeing and snowmobiling plus it has an enviable record for consistent dumps of dry powder snow. Kimberley is an ideal family ski resort and is renowned for its varied skiing terrain and consistent dumps of superb champagne powder snow.

 In the 2006-2007 ski season Kimberley Alpine Resort received over 26 feet of snow.

In spring, summer and fall golfing, fishing, hiking and mountain biking are all on offer.

                           The accommodation on offer is plentiful and varied from cheaper  rooms downtown to luxury fully catered ski chalets such as Sunshine Chalet plus condos, private homes, bed & breakfast facilities like Kimberley Lodge, hotels and motels
