Nordic Ski Club

One of the most peaceful, energizing and inspirational activities that you can take part in is the night skiing at the Revelstoke Nordic Ski Club. The lights are run by solar, light up 6km of trail and make for an evening unlike any other.

The Revelstoke Nordic Ski Club dates back to 1891 and is run by dedicated volunteers. Revelstoke is famous for our huge snowfalls – averaging 350 cm per year measured at valley bottom. The Nordic Ski trails are located on the magnificent Mount Macpherson with about 26 km of groomed trails on an easterly aspect.

Mount Macpherson has a large parking lot and lodge at the base of the mountain. Ole Sandberg Cabin is located 2.5 km from the parking area and houses a wood stove and first aid supplies. The Nordic Club also offers lessons and rentals.

Accommodations

Accommodations are not hard to come by at the resort. From single family homes and rentable condos to luxury suites and bargain motels, there is something for all prices ranges. One such location is the Swiss Chalet Motel, located in the center of Revelstoke.

Offering just 22 rooms to visitors, Swiss Chalet Motel is quiet and private, allowing for peaceful seclusion between ski runs. Each morning starts with a large and completely free breakfast and contributes to one of the many reasons that the motel was voted “Best Value” by TripAdvisor. Visitors can also relax and watch large LCD televisions, enjoy the view from the balcony or participate in unlimited swimming and exercise at the Revelstoke Aquatic Centre. Free Wi-Fi is available for all visitors. The entire motel is non-smoking.

Swiss Chalet Motel offers more competitive packages than many of the other Revelstoke ski packages in the area. From the time the resort opens for the season until December 21, visitors of the motel can enjoy full day passes and standard queen accommodations ranging from $195 USD to $467 USD. December 22 through February 27, full day passes and standard queen rooms cost between $238 USD and $539 USD. If you prefer to ski later in the season, package prices are the same as the beginning of the season. Prices are dependent upon the number of people and are slightly higher if you are travelling solo.

An enchanting and peaceful place with great rates, there is really no reason not to pack up your ski gear and hit the slopes and an accommodation in Revelstoke Mountain Resort.

There’s something for everyone to enjoy during the winter season at Revelstoke. Start planning your next adventure today!
