Our surroundings are second to none, and there are so many activities that you won’t know what to do first. Winter brings impressive snowfall, and in past years, earning Nelson the crown as the Best Ski Town in North America.
Nelson has it all. From powder chasing at world famous Whitewater Ski resort, cross country skiing, mountain biking, fishing, sailing, soaking at Ainsworth Hot Springs, or golfing.
Culturally, Nelson is home base for artists of all sorts, jewelry makers, painters, sculptors, performing artists and locally homemade crafters. Supported by Artisan markets, the Capitol Theatre and Artwalk,
Nelson has a flair for all things artistic. Included in that is the art of wellness and health. Practitioners in massage, Reiki, yoga, meditation as well as sports medicine and chiropractors are in abundance in the area.
Nelson has a vibrant and downtown shopping area, and a busy social scene with live performances, arts and music nearly every night of the week. Nelson is reputed to have more restaurants per capita than Manhattan or San Francisco. It’s also home to multiple coffee roasteries, sourdough bakeries, and a thriving cafe scene.
