Vancouver’s Four-Season Alpine Playground Just Minutes from Downtown

For travelers who appreciate adventure with a touch of elegance, Grouse Mountain offers one of the most versatile and luxurious experiences in Vancouver. Just 15 minutes from the city center, this alpine destination is more than a ski hill—it’s a year-round retreat where nature, romance, and exclusivity converge.

Whether you’re planning a cozy winter getaway or an exhilarating summer escape, Grouse Mountain delivers unforgettable experiences tailored for couples, VIP travelers, and private escort-companioned adventures.

Winter Wonderland: Skiing, Skating & Cabin Vibes

In the colder months, Grouse Mountain transforms into a snow-covered escape complete with ski slopes, snowshoe trails, ice skating, and festive light displays. Glide down beginner-friendly runs or take the Skyride gondola to the summit for panoramic views of Vancouver, the Pacific Ocean, and Mount Baker in the distance.

For a touch of romance, cozy up by the outdoor fire pits with hot cocoa or enjoy an après-ski drink at the Altitude Bistro, where large windows frame the snowy landscape.

Summer Luxury: Helicopter Tours & High-Altitude Hikes

In the warmer months, Grouse Mountain becomes an alpine sanctuary of helicopter rides, zip-lining, and scenic hiking. Book a private helicopter tour over Vancouver’s harbor and coastal mountain ranges for an unbeatable aerial perspective—ideal for couples celebrating milestones or travelers looking to impress.

Prefer to keep your feet on the ground? The Alpine Trail network offers varying levels of hikes, each with sweeping views, fresh mountain air, and quiet corners perfect for a mid-day champagne toast.

Dine Above the Clouds at The Observatory
