Welcome to Nipika Mountain Resort

Welcome to Nipika Mountain Resort—a four-season adventure destination! We are a pet-friendly, eco resort in the Canadian Rockies, bordering Kootenay National Park and we’re located 30 minutes from Radium Hot Springs.

 

There are nine classic log cabins that sleep 4-13 people. Adventure awaits with a massive trail network, the Cross River Canyon Recreation Site. It is groomed for cross country skiing, fat biking, and snowshoeing in winter and geared for mountain biking, hiking, and trail running in the warmer months.

You’ve come to the right place if you’re looking for adventurous activities, a relaxing retreat, or family fun!

WHAT WE HEAR

  • What’s not to love? Spent a long weekend with kids and grand kids. We cross country skied on an endless selection of trails, and enjoyed some hiking in the snowshoe trails. The kids went fat biking and at the end of each day we enjoyed a fire by the rink, some skating, and a sauna! OMG! And it was all so amazing! Thank you Nipika! Truly a hidden gem!

  • The staff were super friendly and very accommodating! We came to Nordic ski and the staff were generous with their equipment, the trails were well kept and the staff were knowledgeable on the conditions of the trails and gave excellent advice on where to ski and where not to. Overall the best experience we’ve had! Thanks Nipika!

  • Have never stayed the night but visited many times. The owners are so nice and welcoming. We use the trails around the property. The MTB trails are lots of fun and follow the Kootenay River. Beautiful views! They also have an awesome frisbee golf course!

  • Absolutely LOVE this place! The setting is unparallelled, the trail grooming absolutely TOP-NOTCH, the cabins and amenities very lovely and the service/advice from staff really superb. If you want a model for such facilities, you can't really find better in the Canadian Rockies. Maybe even anywhere!
