Sun Peaks: A Resort for All Seasons

Sun Peaks Resort lies just 45 minutes from Kamloops Airport in the Thompson Okanagan region. Last year, this all-season European-style village resort splashed onto the international stage when a Conde Nast Traveler poll ranked it the second-best ski resort in Canada and the tenth-best in North America.

A longtime training ground for the Austrian National Ski Team, Sun Peaks is a sought-after destination for extreme mountain bikers, hikers and golfers (the 18-hole course is only steps away from the village centre) during the rest of the year. Designed by Ecosign Mountain Planners — the same company is currently designing the village and slopes at Sochi, in Russia, site of the 2014 Winter Olympics — Sun Peaks is considered one of the best-planned resort communities in North America. As the resort's only Four Diamond property, Delta Sun Peaks Resort & Residences offers standard hotel rooms and luxurious, one- and two-bedroom condominiums.

With the resort's compact nature, attendees can enjoy a boutique experience, whether as a mid-size retreat or a full-scale buy-out. Better still, the resort can create many value-added initiatives with promotional partners such as Air Canada. For example, planners who contract events at Delta Sun Peaks by December 31, 2009, for events taking place prior to June 30, 2010, will be credited with up to 100,000 Aeroplan Miles.

Moreover, Delta Sun Peaks' conservation efforts regarding energy, waste reduction and recycling recently won the Travel Industry Association’s Foresight Sustainability Award, as well as an Energy & Environment Award from the Hotel Association of Canada. On the f&b side, the kitchens showcase a cornucopia of local and organic products, which in turn has encouraged local and sustainable agriculture within the surrounding area and contributed to the success of the resort's Farmers Market held throughout the summer.
