Learn MoreWhere Slow Travel Unfolds
The North Okanagan is located on the traditional, ancestral and unceded territory of the Syilx People of the Okanagan Nation, whose roots and heritage are interwoven with the land and water. Visitors are invited to slow down, choose the road less travelled, and take time to connect with friends and family, community, and culture. The fertile valley, surrounding lakes and mountains invite a deeper relationship with nature, and ask that in return, guests tread lightly and show respect for this nourishing land.
