Ski Kimberley BC and stay with us! Kimberley Alpine Resort is located in the southeast corner of British Columbia. Calgary is a 4.5 hour drive away and Canadian Rockies International Airport is only 20 minutes away. Kimberley Alpine Resort is best known for plenty of sunshine, breathtaking views, and great excellent natural snow.
Kimberley is a great ski hill for all abilities. The back side of Kimberley offers gladed terrain with long mogul and powder runs, which will challenge the more adventurous skier and rider. The front side of Kimberley is suited more to the beginner and intermediate skier who enjoys wide open groomed runs.
The city of Kimberley, also known as the “Bavarian city of the Rockies” is most famous for its downtown Platzl. The Platzl is totally unique as it is only open to foot traffic and offers access to some of Kimberley’s most popular restaurants and shops.
