Hello, Rossland!
PRESTIGE MOUNTAIN RESORT ROSSLAND
Explore Like a Local.
Tucked high in the Monashee Mountains, Rossland is a small town with big personality. Once a booming gold rush destination, it’s now known as one of BC’s best alpine escapes. While the mining days are long gone, the spirit of adventure remains—on the trails, in the powder, and at every cozy café and buzzing brewery.
Whether you’ve come to chase the heart-pounding vertical at RED Mountain or soak in the slower pace of Kootenay life, Rossland offers something special in every season. Bike legendary singletrack in the summer, snowshoe to art-covered cabins in the winter, and raise a glass of something local year-round—this is where rugged meets refined, and where you just might find yourself wanting to stay for good.
HOW TO GET HERE
Rossland is located in the West Kootenay region, just 10 km north of the U.S. border, approximately 3.5 hours from Kelowna International Airport and a 30‑minute drive from West Kootenay Regional Airport in Castlegar. You can also fly daily between Vancouver International Airport (YVR) and nearby Trail Airport (YZZ) aboard Pacific Coastal Airlines flights—an easy and scenic alternative. Stay up-to-date with road and travel conditions via DriveBC.
