Our Town
Rossland is your entrance to the Kootenays. Our location, simply put, is as a mecca for outdoor enthusiasts and naturalists alike. With seemingly endless terrain and an urban"ish"-mountain culture, you will soon see why tourists turn into residents who then make Rossland their home-base for life. Explore at your own pace. Forget “doing it all” because there’s a LOT to do. Actually, forget doing anything if you prefer peace and quiet to adrenaline surges. Ride a bike. Ride a horse. Ride a golf cart. Ride a bar stool. We won’t judge. Just get up here and stay long enough to let all that special seep in.

Food & drink scene
After a heart-stopping day at RED, The Velvet Restaurant is the perfect destination for après. The deck is our favourite spot to take in the views, but indoor seating is not short on views either. Wherever you get comfortable, the seasonal menu and locally-inspired drinks will convince you to stay awhile.
