Researched and written by hand, not scraped. Every entry below is a real place near Sun Peaks, with a note on what it actually is and the practical tips a local would give you.
The village's morning anchor: Italian espresso, fresh pastries, and a small breakfast counter inside the Delta Hotel. The shot pull is the best in the resort.
A pizza-by-the-slice counter on the main promenade with whole pies and a stand-up bar. The fast lunch when you're trying to get back on the lift.
A casual American dinner spot in the centre of the village with bison burgers, mountain-sized portions, and a long bar for solo-ski-week dinners.
An après-ski room with a fireplace, a long taps list, and a pub menu that hits harder than its setting suggests. The default après spot when you don't want to leave the village.
The Sun Peaks Grand Hotel's signature dining room with a seasonal Canadian menu, a serious wine list, and the most polished service in the village. The grown-up dinner option.
A casual all-day bistro in the Coast Sundance lobby with breakfast that runs late and shareable dinner plates. The reliable option when the rest of the village is full.
A Japanese-leaning bar and grill with sushi, hot dishes, and the village's only proper sake list. Counter seating watches the chefs work.
The pub at the south end of the village with a long bar, a fireplace, and weekly live music. The late-after-après spot when most kitchens have closed.
A short ridge walk from the top of the Sunburst Express chairlift to the actual summit of Tod Mountain. Lift-served alpine without the climb.
A 6 km loop on the southern peak with lift-served access in summer and the best Thompson Plateau panorama of the three mountains. Quieter than Tod and just as scenic.
An easy 3 km loop around a small fishable lake just over the ridge from the village. The family-friendly option that ends with a swim.
A network of mid-mountain trails on the Sundance peak with a long downhill loop back to the village. Best done on a mountain bike but works as a 5 km hiking descent.
Canada's second-largest ski resort by area with three connected mountains, 4270 acres of skiable terrain, and 2080 vertical feet. Bigger than it looks from the village and quieter than its size suggests.
The full-service hotel spa with mountain views, hot tubs, and treatment rooms that book steadily even off-season. The pampering counterpart to a hard ski day.
The municipal recreation centre in the village with a pool, hot tub, climbing wall, and gym. Useful indoor activity on a storm day or a long resort week.
A six-lane snow-tubing run lift-served by a magic carpet at the base of the village. The non-skier evening activity that everyone in the family can do.
A purpose-built ski-in/ski-out pedestrian village laid out along a single car-free promenade, with the ski lifts running through the middle of it. Canada's only village you can ski into from your hotel doorstep on three sides.
Sun Peaks' main peak at 2152 metres, accessed by the Sunburst Express in summer. The 360-degree view of the Thompson Plateau and Cascade Range is the photo stop of the visit.
A small fishable lake just over the ridge from the village with a flat trail loop and a dock for swimming. The summer-after-mountain-biking destination.
A long, narrow lake 10 minutes east of Sun Peaks along the access road, with a public beach, paddleboat rental, and the closest swim outside the village. The summer day-off pick.
