Silver Star is 20 minutes from Vernon, and runs ~10 degrees cooler than the valley floor all summer long. A pedestrian village where the locals actually live. Canada’s second largest bike park. A campground most people haven’t found yet. Come up for the afternoon or stay for the week.
At 1,609 metres, the air is different up here. The kids can wander. You can actually relax. Grab a coffee on a patio and watch the mountain while the valley bakes below. It feels like a world away.
5 Reasons to Visit this Summer
Flow trails built for first-timers, progressive blues, and blacks that serious riders come back for year after year. The kind of terrain variety that makes it worth the drive from anywhere in the valley.
You don’t have to be a serious rider to belong here. But serious riders come here for a reason.
Explore the bike parkSilver Star has accommodation for every kind of visit. The Upper BX Campground sits above Vernon at Silver Star — mountain air, trail access, and the village a short walk away. Camping in the Okanagan is genuinely hard to find, and this one won’t be a secret for long.
Rather stay indoors? Mountain chalets and hotel rooms put you in the middle of it all — a pedestrian village where you can actually settle in, no lift queues, no gridlock.
