SLEDDER APPROVED STAYS IN CRANBROOK

Tucked into the East Kootenays, Cranbrook is a destination that surprises you—in the best way.

As the gateway to the Purcell Mountains, it offers a different kind of snowmobiling experience. One that’s approachable, scenic, and often sun-soaked, with fewer crowds and more space to ride.

Whether you’re returning to the sport, riding with family, or simply looking for a more relaxed pace, Cranbrook delivers.

WHERE TO RIDE

Just west of town, the Cranbrook Snowmobile Club maintains the Lumberton riding area, offering over 50 km of groomed trails that wind through forested terrain and open into alpine features. It’s a zone that welcomes all abilities—perfect for scenic cruising, social rides, or building confidence. Learn more HERE.

For those looking to push a little further, nearby areas like Perry Creek and the Wildhorse offer more rugged, unmaintained terrain with technical climbs and deeper backcountry exploration for experienced riders.
