Tucked into the lush Selkirk Mountains, is our soulful community of Nelson, British Columbia. There is plenty of tranquility here and loads of action too. Whether you’re looking for relaxation or adventure, be revitalized. Some come for a visit and never leave; such is the power of this extraordinary town. Those who do leave, leave inspired. As the snow melts away in the spring, the landscape becomes a mecca for golfing, hiking, fishing, climbing, mountain biking and bird watching. There are over 350 designated residential and commercial heritage buildings in Nelson that capture Victorian aesthetic. You won’t get bored shopping in the many one-of-a-kind businesses. Come soothe your soul and energize your spirit.
