Kootenays

The Kootenays have a world of looks for filmmakers – from charming turn of-the-century heritage towns to mansions, mountain lodges and rustic cabins; the vibrant and offbeat creative communities are filled with creators and makers and surrounded by breathtaking, world-renowned vistas.

The unparalleled scenery includes rugged mountain glaciers, snowy peaks, and alpine meadows, with deep valleys bottoming into sparkling lakes connected by pristine rivers and tumbling waterfalls; the deep forests and natural hot springs co-exist with farm and ranch lands, wetlands, vineyards, and orchards.
