Climate & Recreation

Vancouverites enjoy mild temperate weather all year round and have easy access to many outdoor activities including hiking, golf, sailing, kayaking, fishing and some of the best skiing and snowboarding in the world. A 40-kilometre sea wall connects most of the city's waterfront neighbourhoods, and bustling downtown Vancouver is bordered by the spectacular 1,000-acre Stanley Park. The following are some of the many activities that are at your disposal when staying in Lynn Valley and some helpful links that can give you more information:

Biking - The world famous North Shore mountains provide limitless possibilities for all skill levels. The North Shore Mountain Bike Association takes pride in keeping these runs looking and riding like no others, while at the same time respecting and preserving the natural environment.

Hiking - Unrivaled trail systems make for an extraordinary hiker's playground. For the more casual explorer, there are miles of maintained trails, and of course the world famous Grouse Grind. For a greater challenge, you can try one of the North Shore's peaks and experience a truly breathtaking view.

Canoe, Kayak & Boating - The North Shore is the perfect launching ground for an ocean canoe or kayak excursion. Whytecliff Park in West Vancouver opens up Burrard inlet and Lions bay to paddlers, while Deep Cove is an ideal starting point for venturing up the beautiful and natural Indian Arm.

Skiing & Snowboarding - Nowhere else in Vancouver are you as close to the three North Shore mountains: Mount Seymour, Grouse, and Cypress (which offers cross-counrty skiing as well as downhill). The world famous Whistler ski resort is also only a short drive up the stunning Sea to Sky highway.

Golfing - North Vancouver is home to two outstanding 18 hole golf courses: Northlands Golf Course (a public course), and Seymour Golf & Country Club (a private course with select public days). Many others scatter the Greater Vancouver area ranging from executive beginner courses to world class tournament courses.
