Endless Activities

Canyons Village is a dynamic and rapidly growing destination.

Sleigh Rides – Why walk or drive when you could be pulled behind a pair of draft horses instead. The resort offers charming 30-minute sleigh rides through Willow Draw. Settle into the seat under a blanket and let a winter wonderland unfold in front of you at a leisurely canter. When you get back, make sure to warm up with some cocoa.

Snowmobiler Riding Across Snow Covered Field

Snowmobiling – If you prefer something motorized, Red Pine Tours will lend you a snowmobile and some instruction, turning you loose near the base area for an exciting romp across 1,000 acres of private terrain. There is a near-endless supply of snowy terrain to explore within minutes of the Village.

Utah Olympic Park –While not part of Canyons Village itself, Utah Olympic Park is just a couple of minutes up the road and features some of Park City’s most exciting adventures. Home to many of the 2002 Winter Games events, the park has facilities for nordic ski jumping, bobsledding, ropes courses, and plenty more. Yes, the bobsledding is open to the public if you feel the need for speed.

If you somehow manage to exhaust all that Utah Olympic Park has to offer, there are more adventures around nearly every corner. Try your hand at mushing a real dog sled team, or strap on snowshoes for a loop around the scenic Swaner nature preserve. If you want to stay inside, The Mine is a challenging bouldering gym.

The Village has enough to keep you busy and stocked, but if you want to visit Main Street, Outlets Park City, or any of Park City’s other major attractions, you are going to need some kind of motorized transportation.
