Located 1hr west of Lake Louise and <strong>Banff</strong> National Park, Golden offers visitors the chance to<br />
experience a true Canadian small town. Nestled between the Selkirk, Rocky and Purcell mountains,<br />
travellers can enjoy a range of year round activities and beautiful mountain scenery.<br />
WHAT TO DO AND NOT TO MISS<br />
Kicking Horse Mountain Resort is a year round attraction, offering superb terrain, champagne snow and<br />
long verticals in the winter and sightseeing gondola, mountain biking and the Grizzly Bear Refuge in the<br />
summer. Review the real estate development investment opportunities.<br />
ACCOMMODATION<br />

accommodation choices from secluded lodges and cabins in the woods to luxury lodges and condos<br />
with modern amenities, all at great value.<br />
GETTING HERE & AROUND<br />
It's best to have your own transportation to get to Golden. Airport shuttle services are available in the<br />
winter from the Calgary Airport and as transfers to and from other ski resorts.<br />
CLIMATE<br />

~80km east in Lake Louise and <strong>Banff</strong>.<br />
NIGHTLIFE<br />

adrenaline junkies who make Golden their home, play hard at their adventures during the day and party<br />
harder at night.<br />
DINING<br />
Suprisingly good. The development and potential of Golden has attracted entrepreneurs looking to<br />
create a niche for themselves.<br />
