Northland At Grouse LP

6400 Nancy Greene Way, North Vancouver, BC V7R 4K9

No active Vancouverite would entertain out-of-town guests who love the outdoors without a hike up The Grind or a day of skiing on one of our great local mountains. In summer, challenge your guests with the intense climb up to the top. In winter, ride the gondola and then hit the slopes. Or if that’s too much, go ice skating on the mountaintop pond high above the city – it’s complimentary with the cost of your gondola ticket.

This business is featured in the following Smart Lists:
