About Invermere

Invermere, derived from the Gaelic phrase meaning “at the mouth of the lake,” is a charming lakeside community rich in culture, history, and mountain spirit. Its story is preserved at the Windermere Valley Museum, which features local heritage exhibits, photographs, and documents celebrating notable figures such as explorer David Thompson, mountaineer Conrad Kain, and Sir Randolph Bruce.

Downtown Invermere has a relaxed, friendly atmosphere, where visitors can stroll through trendy boutiques, galleries, gift and specialty shops, and enjoy a range of cafés, pubs, bakeries, and fine restaurants. Culinary highlights include local favorites like Arrowhead Brewery, Strands Old House Restaurant, Birchwood, and The Station.

Invermere’s vibrant art scene shines at Village Arts, an artists’ co-op featuring local talent, and nearby galleries such as Artym, Effusion, and Bavin Glass Studio, which showcase works from regional and international artists. A visit isn’t complete without a stop at Pynelogs Cultural Centre on Kinsmen Beach, home to the Columbia Valley Arts Council, a café, gift shop, and public art gallery.

Throughout the year, Invermere hosts a variety of community events. In winter, the Whiteway—the world’s longest outdoor skating trail—welcomes skaters, Nordic skiers, and snowshoers. Spring brings the Wings Over the Rockies birding festival, while summer features the August Music Festival and a grand Canada Day celebration with fireworks and family fun. The annual Hang Gliding and Paragliding Splash Landing Contest adds even more excitement to the valley’s event calendar.

The closing hole on The Point Course at Copper Point – a championship layout that has been ‘wowing’ golfers since 2004 – is a sweet risk/reward par-4 over water. It’s a fitting finish on a highly strategic course that will require every club in your bag. A natural, lay-of-the-land route with numerous ‘classic’ elements, such as roughly hewn bunkers and excellent use of existing hills and ravines, the architectural merit of this design warrants play on its own.
