Sun Peaks Village Lodging: A Ski-Through Guide to Canada’s Second-Largest Resort
Notice: We use affiliate links in our mountain guides and may earn a commission on hotel bookings or gear purchases at no cost to you.
Sun Peaks Resort has quietly grown into the second-largest ski area in Canada, with over 4,200 acres spread across three peaks. Its centrepiece is a colourful, European-style pedestrian village designed to be ski-through: you can glide past shops, patios and hotel entrances.
The budget decision is where to base yourself — in the central pedestrian village, or along the quieter residential loops of the Morrisey and Sundance chairlifts. The village core puts you steps from après dining; the surrounding townhome areas offer bigger layouts, private hot tubs and direct trail access for much less.
Here are the best-value properties and ski-in, ski-out blocks at Sun Peaks this winter.
