Revelstoke
An Alpine Paradise
Number of Trails: 120+
Legendary for its alpine backcountry and lift access, Revelstoke offers a mountain biking experience that changes with the seasons. From its location on the banks of the mighty Columbia River, Revelstoke has two entire mountain ranges to use for a playground – with over 150km of single track to enjoy. Spring and early summer offer the trails of the inland rainforest with tacky dirt, big trees, and an otherworldly sea of green. As the heat pushes the snow back to the summits, the trails climb upward to an entirely different type of riding, and the high alpine jewels of the area are revealed.
