Three Valley Gap Climbing at Three Valley Gap has been for many years a well-liked destination for ice climbing. This narrow and steep valley with the deep lake, taking up the entire valley floor, the Trans Canada Highway jammed tight against vertical cliffs on one side of the valley and the tracks of the CP Rail on the other side, turns this site into an absolutely spectacular area. Then there is the Three Valley Gap Hotel, which sits on the eastern shoreline of the deep blue lake and takes up the entire valley from one side of the valley to the other; it sits there like a castle, ruling over the entire area. Rock climbing on the Tourist Wall offers not just superb climbing of moderate difficult, but also provides an incredible top view of this beautiful valley.

Once you crossed the Columbia River Bridge and reached the turnoff for Hwy 23 S (traffic light), start counting the kilometers as you keep driving west along Hwy 1. At km 13.8 you come to a paved truck pullout, directly in between the highway and Victor Lake (second lake west of Revelstoke). This is a good place to park your car. Please do not park at the gravel pullout 280 meters east, dangerous for oncoming fast moving traffic. Coming from Vernon, Kamloops or Sicamous: Drive along the Trans Canada Highway (Hwy 1) towards east (Calgary). Once you are past the prominent red hotel at Three Valley Gap, keep driving towards east for another few kilometers. This will bring you across a bridge and further to the Victor Lake (third lake east of Sicamous). Park at the prominent paved truck pullout. Approach From the paved truck pullout in between the highway and Victor Lake walk for 280 meters along Hwy 1 towards east. This brings you to a gravel pullout (don’t park your car there). Cross the highway to its north side (caution fast driving cars and trucks). There walk along an overgrown road for approximately 80 meters towards east (historical wagon road from Sicamous to Revelstoke). From this point, walk up the steep trail to the base of the Victor Lake Wall. For the routes "Return of the Osprey", "Trans Canada" and "Pan America" branch off to the right shortly prior the actual wall (sign). For all other routes keep following the main trail aiming straight up and slightly climber left. 15 minutes from the highway. Descent for all Victor Lake Wall Routes From the top of the Victor Lake Wall walk down the marked trail towards west and eventually in south direction. This brings you within 30 to 35 minutes back to your car at the Victor Lake and the Trans Canada Highway. Just as on the Squamish Grand Wall or any route on Yamnuska, bring a super light pack and light approach shoes, climb one of the many grand routes and after the climb enjoy the quick walk down back to the highway. The Goat Ledge The Goat Ledge is the prominent large ledge separating the entire upper wall from the lower wall. The Victor Ledge allows climbers to bail from any route as you walk towards west, along this large ledge to the Ninth Symphony / The Mission. After you arrive at the fourth belay anchor of The Mission, rappel straight down the lower part of the Ninth Symphony and the Baldwin Start. (35m, 30m, 28m, 28m). In between Return of the Osprey and Restless Spirits is a fixed rope.

Boulders in the meadow behind Hotel Sasso Remenno.

A collection of boulders found around the hotel Bagni di Masino, located up the valley from San Martino. A great summer location when it is too hot in Val di Mello or Val Masino. Many problems are regrowing moss. Bring a brush.

fun little bouldering cave that easily accessible, especially if you are staying in a luxury hotel. There could be some harder problem that start deep in the cave.

Directions: The cheese boulder is the first substantial boulder you see when approaching from Pleasant Trail. From here staying on the uphill slope and traversing east will get you to the Bakery Boulder, or heading downhill will get you to the huge boulders: Downtown and Hotel Palestine.
