You step out of the vehicle into bright, brittle air and a quiet that only snow can bring. The guide straps your snowshoes while the valley below holds its winter hush; distant lake ice flashes where wind has skimmed the surface. The route pushes through mixed fir and aspen, climbs a series of clearings, and opens to a wide view of Okanagan Lake framed by serrated ridgelines.

You step out of the vehicle into bright, brittle air and a quiet that only snow can bring. The guide straps your snowshoes while the valley below holds its winter hush; distant lake ice flashes where wind has skimmed the surface. The route pushes through mixed fir and aspen, climbs a series of clearings, and opens to a wide view of Okanagan Lake framed by serrated ridgelines.
The Okanagan Valley was shaped by glacial scouring and volcanic events; those geological forces left steep benches and fertile soils that later drew orchardists and vintners. The land also carries the history of the Syilx (Okanagan) people — an Indigenous presence that predates orchards and ciders and remains integral to local culture. Today, the winter trail threads through remnants of ranch roads and orchard terraces, where you’ll see evidence of the valley’s agricultural past even under snow.
Expect a guided loop of roughly 3–5 km with modest climbs (about 100–300 m elevation gain), slow enough for steady conversation and photo stops. The outing lasts about five hours total — transfer, two-hour guided snowshoeing, then a cidery tasting where local apples and small-batch methods take center stage. Snowshoes are provided; dress in moisture-wicking layers, waterproof boots, and a windproof shell. Hydration and steady pacing matter: cold air can dull thirst and make climbs feel harder.
Practical notes: pickup is typically from Kelowna, private transport included; bring ID for tastings and check cancellation rules (full refund if cancelled 24+ hours ahead). This trip pairs accessible winter exercise with a taste of place — a way to feel the valley under snow and warm up with locally made cider.
