From its location on the banks of the mighty Columbia River, Revelstoke has two entire mountain ranges as its playground. Alpine adventure abounds in both the Monashee and Selkirk ranges, whether you are looking for shuttle-accessed downhill riding, a cross-country tour, or just pedalling to see what’s on the other side of the mountain.

Bikers to Revelstoke can also ride the most vertical in North America from the lift-assisted Fifty Six Twenty trail at Revelstoke Mountain Resort. Use the gondola to bump you up, and then pedal 7 km (4.3 mi) on a purpose-built mountain biking trail. At the top, a flowy 15 km (9.3 mi), 5,620 vertical-foot descent rewards for your efforts.
