Boasting the second highest elevation of any city in Canada, the town of Kimberley, in the Rocky Mountains of southeastern British Columbia, is a popular tourist destination. Four distinct seasons attract visitors from around the world to enjoy the top quality skiing, snowboarding, golf and hiking in the area. In 1973, downtown Kimberley was transformed into an alpine themed pedestrian-only mall featuring shops and restaurants. Numerous festivals and special events are held here throughout the year.
