General overview
This home away from home has every outdoor pursuit nearby! Only 3 hours from Vancouver or Victoria. Modern, newly decorated home with 30 foot ceilings. Huge jacuzzi tub. Ski in Ski out in the winter and world class hiking in the summer. You can mountain bike and downhill bike in the park right from your door! Hike 50 meters from our home into amazing alpine trails. Fits 2 families easily. Our chalet is the perfect get away to do outdoor adventures by day and boardgames, a soak, charcuterie and star gazing by night. Day trip to all the best attractions on Vancouver Island from our Alpine home.
The nordic area is 1500 meters away for xc skiing and snowshoeing. From that area you can start endless hikes in the summer, starting in the famous Paradise Meadows. Our boys enjoy feeding Whiskey Jack birds from your hands and abundant wildlife around.
Our chalet is part of a quaint village. We have sleds for your use in the winter.
In the summer I'll give you insider tips to secluded secret waterfalls and swimming holes. Drive 20-30 minutes to wineries, craft breweries, ocean bonfires and sandy beach swimming! Or hike 2 km to an alpine lake to have to yourself for a swim. You can bike from our place right onto the chairlift in the summer or check out the ziplining! Comox Valley and Campbell River have world class whale watching, salmon fishing and dining and are only 30 min drive away. Our favorite things to do in the summer are to hike in old growth, find secret swimming holes and finish with a bonfire on the ocean or a craft beer in the alpine. In the winter, we will tell how to find a secret ice castle and our favorite ski runs! Come see why we moved here 18 years ago and never looked back!

New to house swapping. The concept is very exciting as we've travelled to over 50 countries. My active family of 3 boys, hubby and I love adventures and outdoors. Skiing, biking, hiking, camping, to name a few. We are both respected health professionals and take respect in all we do.
