General presentation
Vallée de l'Okanagan
Large inland valley of lakes, orchards, dry hillsides and sunny cities, very suitable for active and gourmet stays.
Okanagan Lake, Kelowna and Myra Canyon provide the most telling landmarks in Okanagan Valley. Together they form a destination where the shores and lakes, the countryside and natural spaces meet, with atmospheres that change over the stages rather than just one uniform decor.
See all
For a stay of 4 to 7 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.

A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Nature and landscape
Okanagan Lake
Okanagan Lake The whole valley is structured by its long banks, beaches, marinas and dry slopes. The lake gives the stay its rhythm, between swimming, panoramic road and warm light on the orchards.
Place indismissible
Kelowna
Kelowna serves as a living centre in the Okanagan, with lake front, lively neighborhoods and quick access to areas, beaches and hills. The city is especially interesting as a practical base for connecting water activities, cycling and tastings.
Nature and panorama
Myra Canyon
Myra Canyon Follows an old railway on trestles and tunnels above the slopes of the Okanagan. On a bike or on foot, the route offers a spectacular but accessible progression, with wide views of the valley.
Place indismissible
Naramata
Naramata occupies a quieter bank of the Okanagan, between orchards, small estates and views of the lake. The stage works well to slow down, follow secondary roads and understand the agricultural face of the valley.
