North Vancouver, British Columbia

Surrounded by mountains and adorned with hiking trails, parks, and beaches, North Vancouver is much more than a suburb of Vancouver – it's an urban outdoor wonderland!

How many cities can boast of ski slopes just steps from your front door? The North Vancouver area has several ski resorts, including Grouse Mountain and Cypress Mountain, that offer plenty of ways to race down the slopes. Snowboarding, downhill skiing, and snow tubing are just a few of the activities available at these winter playgrounds. Grouse Mountain also features spectacular hiking trails with gorgeous panoramic views of the city and the sea set amongst majestic forested areas. The must-see attraction, however, is the Capilano suspension bridge. An engineering marvel, the bridge overlooks a lush rainforest. The air is cool and misty and the mountain scenery is unparalleled.

For simpler pleasures, North Vancouver has an extensive parks system. From seaside vistas to jogging trails set amongst thick Douglas fir trees, just walking through the city's parks will put you in good spirits and better health.

North Vancouver has so much natural splendor to offer… with the action of the big city only minutes away! For more information about all there is to see and do in the surrounding areas, please see the city profile for Vancouver.
