Golden is more than a ski town. Nestled in the heart of the Canadian Rockies, it's a year-round playground for adventurers, foodies, and families. Double Black sits at the centre of it all, at the base of the Kicking Horse gondola.
Ride the gondola to the summit for panoramic views, downhill mountain biking trails, or access to alpine hiking trails and the Grizzly Bear Refuge. In winter, it's your lift to some of the best skiing in British Columbia. Double Black sits right at the base.
Golden is one of Canada's premier mountain biking destinations. The Kicking Horse, Moonraker & Golden area trail network offers everything from flowy cross-country to gnarly downhill. Bike parks, shuttle access, and rentals available. Refuel at Double Black after your ride.
Meet Boo, the resident grizzly bear at Kicking Horse Mountain Resort's Grizzly Bear Refuge. Accessible via the gondola, the refuge sits at the summit and offers an incredible chance to observe a grizzly in a natural mountain habitat. Many summer visitors don't even know this exists.
A guided climbing experience on the cliffs of Kicking Horse Mountain Resort. Iron rungs, suspension bridges, and jaw-dropping exposure at elevation. No climbing experience needed. One of the most unique adventure activities in the Canadian Rockies.
