 Kimberley
Alpine Resort is located 2.5 miles (4 km) west of the funky
mountain town of Kimberley in the BC Rockies region of British
Columbia. Kimberley's long, sunny, south-facing ridge in the
Purcell Mountains offers a respectable 700-metre vertical drop,
with excellent tree-lined runs and glades for skiers and snowboarders.
The highest city in Canada, at 1,120 metres, Kimberley is the
classic mining town of the Rockies region, named in 1896 after
the famous South African diamond mine. The nearby mountains
were once staked for mining claims, a history reflected in the
names of the runs.
The city of Kimberley is known as the 'Bavarian City of the
Rockies'. Kimberley combines old European flair with outstanding
hospitality. Home to excellent gift shops, unique restaurants
and a variety of pubs and night spots, Kimberley is only a few
moments drive from the Ski Resort. The downtown area is called
the ‘Platzl’ and looks like a small alpine village.
Kimberley is located in the BC Rockies, in southeast British
Columbia, 20 miles (32 km) northwest of Cranbrook, off Highway
95A. Private bus services, shuttles and taxi companies also
run between Kimberley and Cranbrook, Vancouver, Calgary, and
other points in BC and Alberta. |
