Nestled on a gentle plain with scenic mountain vistas in the distance, it is considered by many to be an ideal location to raise a family or retire. Residents enjoy a variety of outdoor recreational opportunities including golf, hiking, and skiing. For those who enjoy more urban pursuits, there are shops, boutiques, and cafes, as well as an arts centre and heritage attractions.
