The 30-minute drive from Invermere to Panorama winds along the edge of the rugged Toby Creek Canyon, one of the most scenic drives in the area.

Panorama is first and foremost a ski resort, with 4,000 feet of vertical terrain. Owned by Intrawest Corporation, the same company that owns Blackcomb-Whistler, Panorama is a world-class resort with downhill skiing, snowboarding and cross-country trails. R. K. Heli-Ski operates from Panorama for those who wish to experience the truly untouched high terrain.

In the past ten years, amenities have been added to make this a four-season resort. Greywolf Golf Course is a spectacular 18-hole championship course open from May to October. Intrawest has also added mountain biking, hiking, jeep tours, white water rafting, snowshoeing, snowmobiling, tennis and swimming to its attractions.

More people are purchasing property and building their dream getaways on the edge of the ski hill or the golf course. There are some gorgeous luxury homes at Panorama as well as hundreds of condominiums and hotel rooms for visitors.
