the Municipality of Panorama Reviews

Fun mountain with a lot of vertical. Unfortunately it does get a bit icy, but if you know where to go, great times are always had.

Not packed at all like East coast mountains or Banff/lake Louise. Allot of variability in the runs. Good snow because it's up so high.

Beautiful and relaxing mini vacation. We had a suite that was stocked well. 4 star was only because our room had a strong spicy food smell that stayed with us for our duration of stay. We definitely will be back.

Nice area. The Hirserhief resort needs some maintenance and updating.

Great ski resort for all levels! No lineups at the chair lifts and awesome views and runs!

Panorama is an underated mountain with breathtaking scenery, friendly staff and varied terrain. A hidden gem that when it snows and the sky is blue it rivals any of the larger mountains around. The multiple huts to grab a bite or drink, the pubs, pizza and games nights are all great highlights. A gondola to the top would be a great addition rather than taking three chairs.

Great ski resort in BC. Very family friendly. Lots of terrain for every ability level. Main cafeteria is just ok, recommend eating at the restaurant on hill instead

Ghetto but fun
Too many people from other countries on 6 month visa being cops
They are too rigid and stupid

Rooms were outdated and not very clean, not what was advertised. Would never stay there again

I have nothing but good things to say about this place. It is beautiful, the resort has multiples hot tubs and a heated pool in the winter and the skii station is so close it's ridiculous. There are different places to eat and drink and the people that work here are all amazing. I will be back for sure!

Sad cash grab with a $5 deposit for the RFID cards as well no more microwaves in the lodge for public use.

Great snow conditions. Next to no lift lines. Sunny skies. Perfect!

This ski resort is amazing. It offers lots of runs for every level of skier. Lifts are updated and quick except for the Sunbird chair. Reloadable RFID cards help speed things up and are reloadable for when you go back. Good on mountain amenities with Invermere not far away. I would highly recommend this resort.

A super place for mountain holidays, good skiing, many hiking trails and good food

Great stay, they were able to accommodate us the rooms are comfy, unless you're in the pine inn then you are typically in a condo that is owned by someone else and rented out on behalf of them via Panorama. Either way, a very enjoyable stay. Mini Golf was quite enjoyable, warm/ hot tubs great. Lots of room to social distance though it is funny to watch everyone pile into the one hot tub when there is plenty of room in the upper hot tub and warm pool.

Will be back!

Great hill, but it takes 3 chair lifts and a bit of time to get to the very top. Other issue is, most of the best terrain is in the Taynton Bowl, however it puts you out on the Taynton ski out trail which is long, boring, and leads you back to the base where you will have to take all 3 lifts again to get back to the Taynton Bowl

Great place to spend time , between the pools, golf, hiking and biking there is no shortage of things to do.

Excellent dot to take your family, always find the conditions on the slopes a bit crappy

December 5 was the "powder preview" weekend, an unofficial open for pano this year. A couple of things to note however. First powder was a bit of a misnomer because there was none. This is because pano has been open for ski race training for while now and so any powder was already sullied by the ski jocks. Additionally there were great swaths of the hill closed of for the same ski jocks and thus the terrain was limited. Never mind the 45 minute line to get a ticket (even though we got there early).

If you are a ski race jock pano is for you. If you are looking to have actual fun at a ski hill Lower your expectations. .

Ski a mile of vertical from peak to base! Lots of new terrain, needs to get more snow to be a 5.

Do not recommend skiing here at this time of the year. The entire hill is a sheet of ice and they will not give you a refund for the terrible conditions. Save your money and go else where

Have been an owner at Horsethief since first developed in 1980. I moved 3 years ago (email, phone and fax numbers unchanged) and village amenities fees had accumulated for 3 years to now. Although notices mailed out, I was never contacted via any other method. Now expected to pay the 2 years of penalties when it should have been split 50/50 since both Panorama Owners Service and myself were at fault. Entire payment history on time including all the extra fees over all this time. Really disappointed.

Great place to ski. Went in January and basically had a private mountain. Great views.

Lots of snow, great terrain, good food, very friendly staff.

Very convenient if you're using the slopes or Nordic centre. Pretty good selection all things considered for the liquor store. Variable comfort of the accommodation depending on where you're staying.

Such an amazing place for families to go skiing no matter what your age. On top of the number of ski lifts and runs available at the resort there are also terrain parks in 3 different locations that cater to various abilities and there is no additional fee unlike some hills.
Now if skiing isn't your thing there are activities that go one throughout the day, some for a small fee, as well as the odd movie night. Did I mention the hot tubs, hot pool and dry sauna. Great food available at different locations, our personal favourite being the Grey Wolf clubhouse which you can ski in and out of off the Sunbird chair.
Our whole family loves Pano the ski instructors, the Wee Wascals staff all love what they do and it shows every time we visit. All of our kids 5, 9 & 11 grew up learning to ski here and it isn't any surprise that they all love skiing.
The online booking system has improved greatly since a few years past and all the information you need and could want to book is all available online.

Great place to take your family skiing. Wonderful outdoor hot tubs and the list of summer activities make us want to go back again!

Nice summer visit to this resort I think of as a ski destination. There is a nice paved hiking trail just off the lower parking area, that the my parents and my kids were both able to do easily, with access to the river to throw lots of rocks. The free gondola up to the resort was nice, less walking on a hot day. The kids really enjoyed the adventure area and the ice cream was the best value around. Lots to do and well worth the short drive. Next time going to spend a few dats here.

Not a big resort, but was really impressed with what it offered. Great little on mountain village. Perfect for families with pools, a people mover, and warming huts at the top of each lift. Taynton Bowl is actually really good as well, with solid terrain parks and decent vertical.

Cool place for it to be a resort in canada, rooms are ok

We had a problem with our stove, the staff stepped up and upgraded us. Well done.

We have owned here for many years and we never go. Just calling in and trying to talk to a timeshare person is always a difficult task. Transferred here and there and nobody wants to answer your questions. Best you can hope for is leaving a message on someones voice mail and perhaps getting a call back at some point, and "NO" the front desk will not help you.

If u do go here, more time than not, there is an issue with the room, that requires resolution.

Amazing place. Beautiful landscape and view. My family and friends had so much fun. We had an amazing weekend. We will definitely coming back this place. A lot activities 2 days isnt enough to stay. See yah soon

We visited Panorama during the first week in June and had a wonderful time. The facilities are great, although, at this time of year many of the restaurants/bars are closed in the village. Great hicking trails, mini golf and a first class 18 hole (Grey Wolf) golf course. Part of the club house is a very nice restaurant called Cliffhanger.
The staff and locals we came in contact with were both friendly and helpful.
Also, the scenery is breathtaking!

Great snow and chairlift waits were super fast. Had a fondue dinner at Mile One Hut which was amazing. Cozy little place with great fondue and an amazing view.

The resort itself was lovely and the hot pools were wonderful. Food and service at ElevenFifty was tops!
But...our accommodation was well below par. We stayed at the Pine Inn. Aware that it is a "budget friendly" hotel, I expected a higher standard to "budget" at a renowned Ski Resort. The building itself was in terrible shape. Our first room had a balcony but the screen door was not accessible. The one bed was broken and could not be fixed, so we were moved across the hall to a smaller room. The entry light didn't work. One of the beds was so wowed in the middle, 2 people couldn't lay side by side, as they rolled to the middle! The TV quality was poor.
However, it was clean and convenient.

Fortunate to have friends with a place to stay, beautiful resort in the summer and not to crowded, great to get away from a busy world with friends and re-center yourself. great hiking and mountain bike in the area.

Great hill. Awesome views and raclette from the Elk Horn cabin.

Awesome resort and a wonderful place to stay. No queues, great skiing.

Great ski resort, lots of food choices challenging runs no lift lines.

Great way to see more of what the area offers. Beautful sites

Very underestimated hill by advanced skiers like myself. The terrain here is amazing and when it has snow it stays because none of the beginners go near it. I m not sure why people stick their noses up at this mountain. The more you ski it you find really cool pockets to practice anywhere from 10-50 cliffs. Ask some of the guides if it s your first time they will be happy to point you in the right direction and exited to hear that people are going to these spots.

To get away from it all, this is a awesome resort. Breathtaking mountain views, hiking trails for skill hikers, downhill dirt bike, tennis courts, many different golf courses within a hour drive. We rented a boat in Invermere, had a blast on Lake Windermere.

We always have a great time here but the Pine Inn needs some MAJOR renovations! We stayed at the Pine Inn a few years ago and it was fine but when we checked in a few weeks ago it was awful. We had to pay extra money to upgrade to a studio because we just couldn't stomach staying in the room at the inn.

Love it. went in the winter and the sking is fun and the service is good.

Unreal best mountain yet and the mountain is family friendly

A well laid out resort with lots of great runs and easily accessable lower bowls with plenty of opportunities for skiing among the trees if that's your thing. Fear not if it isn't your thing as there's lots of cruisey runs to choose from too. There's also a good back country bowl where the access to its further reaches involes a long walk through the snow or on certain days a snow cat ride at additional cost. So not for everyone which saves it from overuse and keeps it for the back country devotees. I also enjoyed the flood lit skiing on offer.
My new favourite Canadian winter sports destination.

Amazing resort! We stayed in the Horse Thief Lodge for a week and had a great time. So much to do in winter and summer. Ski hills were only steps away from your room!

Complete array of facilities in an compact area but the gym is quite small

I went there the 2nd time so far and would definitely come back. Been to lots of mountains this is my favourite so far. Great condos. Excellent service all the staff is friendly and helpful. An a+ for the ski patrol. Broke my femur and they all stayed very calm and knew what they where doing. Even cared after how i was doing. The snow was great both times. Love the backcountry. Its not crowded at all. Would came back for sure. Keep up the good service

Great resort, and with the new Taynton bowl access it's even better

Panorama is awesome. Stayed at taynton lodge, big rooms and hot tubs.

Always love visiting this resort lots to do, and see. Accommodations that suit from the single bachelor's to a full family. Best mountain for snowboarding and skiing couples a little for each of us and unlike other resorts you don't have to wait in line to get on a chair. You can find lots of terrain that's barely touched ! Will keep coming back for more!

We visited in the summer and was amazed at how much was going on. Resort felt full and busy with lots of people making it feel like a summer getaway. Bike park was already in great shape.

Awesome ski resort. Crowds are low and snow is deep.

A great place to relax and recharge. Lots of things to do! Love the hot springs too!

Thank you so much to panorama resort to understand my circumstances. My boyfriend and I booked our trip to panorama a few weeks ago but yesterday my boyfriend had a major fall with serious head injuries. Panorama resort refunded my bike park tickets without questioning. Thank you again and we will be back as soon as my boyfriend can ride his bike again.

This place is the best! Hopefully it's remoteness preserves the charm and crowds

We have been going to Panorama for over 20 years and love the on-hill accommodation and never get tired of the mountain.

Awesome resort west of Invermere, BC along the Toby creek which goes into the Columbia River. Lots to see and do with hiking, mountain biking, trail biking, whitewater rafting and fresh mountain air to bring you peace and tranquility...

DO NOT STAY IN THE PINE INN!!! The rooms over there smelled bad were average sized dirty. Things like the sink and bathtub were chipping away. Our rooms(mine and my family's) had bad smelling beds and a broken window screen. The front desk was unhelpful and seemed uninterested with helping us. The wifi connection was poor and everything was extremely overpriced. $20 FOR A CHEESEBURGER AND A HANDFUL OF FRIES. This place looks pretty but isn't actually the best. It wasn't to croweded though. There was a pool, hot tub and kiddie pools but there were no lifeguards at all. So I would advise not leaving your kid alone in the deep end of the pool. Even though the deepest part was only 5ft

Always have a great time playing at panorama weather it s the slopes in the winter or bike park in the summer! Amazing places to eat or have drinks, awesome new menus worth checking out. Always helpful friendly staff going the extra mile. Hats off to the trail crew in the bike park your killing it!!!

Panorama is a exceptional ski and mountain biking hill filled with activities for all ages. Ive been coming to Pano since I was a kid, and it's one of the few places thats kept great quality and friendly staff the whole time. The views and runs are beautiful, the hiking trails are well maintained and the runs are well thought out and clean
