Experience Grouse Mountain — Vancouver’s Mountain Playground All Year Round
Escape the city and discover Grouse Mountain, one of Vancouver’s most spectacular year-round attractions, located just 15 minutes from downtown Vancouver. Rising above the city, Grouse Mountain offers an unforgettable combination of breathtaking views, alpine scenery, outdoor adventure, wildlife, entertainment, dining, and cultural experiences — all in one extraordinary mountain destination.
Often described as one of Vancouver’s natural “rooftops,” Grouse Mountain is a place you can visit in every season. Whether you are looking for summer adventure, a peaceful autumn escape, winter snow activities, or a spring day surrounded by nature, there is something to experience at Grouse Mountain throughout the year.
Travel from the city to the mountaintop aboard the iconic Skyride or the Blue Grouse Gondola and watch Vancouver’s skyline, ocean, islands, and mountains unfold below you.

A Mountain Experience for Every Season
Spring — Nature Comes Alive
Spring is a wonderful time to explore Grouse Mountain as the landscape awakens after winter. Enjoy mountain scenery, fresh air, hiking opportunities, wildlife experiences, panoramic views, and the many attractions available at the mountaintop. It is an ideal season for visitors who want to combine nature and sightseeing without leaving Vancouver.
Summer — Adventure Above Vancouver
Summer transforms Grouse Mountain into an exciting outdoor playground. Visit the grizzly bear habitat, watch the Birds in Motion demonstration, ride the Peak Chairlift for spectacular alpine views, or take on additional adventures such as Mountain Ropes and Ziplines.
With long summer days and incredible views across Vancouver, the surrounding mountains, and the Pacific Ocean, Grouse Mountain is a memorable summer destination for families, couples, groups, and visitors from around the world.

Autumn — Colour, Views and Mountain Air
Autumn brings a completely different atmosphere to Grouse Mountain. Enjoy crisp mountain air, changing foliage, spectacular viewpoints, and a quieter connection with nature. It is an excellent time to ride to the mountaintop, explore the area, enjoy dining, and take in the changing colours of the surrounding forests.
Winter — A Snowy Mountain Wonderland
When snow arrives, Grouse Mountain becomes a winter wonderland above Vancouver. Depending on conditions and the season, visitors can enjoy snowshoeing, skating, the Sliding Zone, winter scenery, and spectacular illuminated experiences such as the Light Walk.
For visitors who want to experience snow without travelling far from the city, Grouse Mountain offers the unique opportunity to go from downtown Vancouver to a snowy alpine environment in a matter of minutes.

There’s More Than a View at Grouse Mountain
Your Grouse Mountain experience can continue at the mountaintop, where you can explore the Mountaintop Chalet, enjoy dining options, browse two gift shops, and visit the Theatre in the Sky.
From wildlife and nature to adventure, entertainment and spectacular scenery, Grouse Mountain brings together many of the experiences that make Vancouver famous.
A Vancouver Attraction You Can Visit 12 Months of the Year
One of the great advantages of Grouse Mountain is that there is no single “best” season to visit. The mountain changes dramatically throughout the year, offering visitors a different experience in spring, summer, autumn, and winter.
Whether you are visiting Vancouver for the first time, travelling with family, planning a group excursion, or looking for something special to do close to downtown, Grouse Mountain gives you the chance to experience British Columbia’s spectacular mountain environment without travelling far from the city.
