Winter
Kelowna winters may be mild, but the skiing is still unrivalled up at Big White! Whether you're looking for big adventure, or a break from the cold, the Okanagan is where you should be.
Spring
Offering warmer temperatures earlier in the season than most other parts of Canada, Spring is an underrated time to visit Kelowna. Come visit before the busy Summer season and take advantage of less traffic and better prices.
Summer

Summer is the busiest season in Kelowna for a reason. From wine tours to lakeside dining, parasailing to epic mountain biking, summer really does have it all.

Fall
Fall in Kelowna offers plenty to do, with local farmers' markets and produce still plentiful and warm temperatures usually still in play. Learn more about what harvest season looks like in the Okanagan.
