During the warmer months, Schweitzer Mountain Resort offers over 20 miles of hiking and biking trails through wildflowers and gorgeous alpine vistas - you can even hop on the chairlift if you need a little help getting to the top! By snowfall, the resort attracts skiers from across the globe, as the mountain features terrain parks, night skiing, cat skiing and snowmobiling, a Nordic center and more!

You'll have access to two golf courses when you stay in one of our Sandpoint vacation rentals - Priest Lake and Sandpoint Elks.

You can also take a driving tour along the International Selkirk Loop (named "Best of the Roads" by Rand McNally). The full loop includes 280 miles through Idaho, Washington, and Canada, as well as stunning mountain, lake, and river views - even just a small chunk is completely jaw-dropping and inspiring!
This region of Idaho, no matter how beautiful the scenery is, also offers plenty of activities for non-adventure seekers. In the summertime, there's the ArtWalk around downtown galleries, and in August, you can attend the Arts and Crafts Fair, as well as an annual Artists' Studio Tour - take this self-guided tour of Northern Idaho for a peek inside the creative process. Year-round, the Panida Theater hosts live performances and indie flicks.
Learn about the history of the region at the Bird Aviation Museum or the Bonner County Historical Museum, and finish up with a stroll around City Beach, with its sandy shoreline, swimming areas, and volleyball nets if you feel like working up an appetite. Before heading back to your Sandpoint retreat, stop by Pend Oreille Winery for some local vino tasting or one of Sandpoint's craft breweries, like Laughing Dog or MickDuffs, for pints and snacks. Families of all ages will love a trip to Silverwood Theme Park, just 30 miles outside of town, which boasts roller-coaster rides, fireworks shows, and the Boulder Beach Waterpark!
