Kaslo, BC

Set on the sublime shores of Kootenay Lake between the Selkirk and Purcell mountains, the small town of Kaslo is rich in history and blessed by natural beauty. Known as the Switzerland of the Americas, the town centre maintains its historic charm with several national historic sites, including the SS Moyie, a Canadian Pacific Railways sternwheeler that operated on the lake from 1898 to 1959, and the municipal hall, built in 1898, and still used as the seat of government. With tree lined streets and elegant Victorian era buildings, it is set amongst some of the most beautiful mountains in the province, and well worth the 70 km journey up Highway 3A from Nelson.
