Rossland

The Monashee Mountains define the setting of Rossland — forested slopes and snowy winters have long shaped this West Kootenay city’s outdoor rhythm. Gold discovered on nearby Red Mountain in 1890 turned the settlement into an important British Columbia mining centre, and its compact downtown still preserves buildings from that boom. The 1898 Rossland Miners’ Hall, now a National Historic Site, recalls the labour movement that accompanied the mines. Red Mountain Resort keeps the mountain central to local life, with skiing in winter and biking in summer.
