Summer at Sun Peaks Resort
Sun Peaks is an alpine village in the Thompson-Nicola region with lift-served hiking and biking, an 18-hole golf course, and easy access to Moraine Lake for swimming and paddle sports. Timberline 24 works well as a summer base. Approximately a 2 minute walk to the main village. Directly across the street from the Sports Complex (tennis courts, soccer field, playground). The resort's covered outdoor NHL-sized ice rink (winter) and Sun Peaks Alpine Fitness outdoor pool (summer drop-in) are also just across the street — confirm hours, season dates, and fees on the Sun Peaks Resort site.
Golf and lift-served recreation
The resort operates golf and lift infrastructure on a seasonal schedule. Guests often combine a morning round or hike with an afternoon at the lake or a slower village afternoon. Check the resort's official site for current lift hours, trail maps, and golf tee-time policies before you build a day-by-day itinerary.
Moraine Lake and water time
Moraine Lake is a short drive from the village and is a common choice for swimming, paddle boarding, and relaxed shoreline time when the weather cooperates. Pack towels and sun protection; water temperature and beach rules vary by season.
Evenings at the townhome
After hiking or golf, the back deck with BBQ and private hot tub (new july 2025), holds 4 adults is a practical reset for a group of up to 6. The full kitchen supports simple meals when you want to stay in, and the garage helps store bikes or outdoor gear.
Shoulder season and fall
Late spring and early fall can be quieter, with strong hiking and crisp evenings. Minimum-night rules and nightly rates still follow the booking engine — use the rates page for a seasonal snapshot, then confirm on Top of the Mountain.
