Or at least, own your own view of the Rocky Mountains. And the Monashee Range. Not to mention the Cariboo Mountains. Unless it's a cloudy day, you can't look up in Valemount and not see mountains.
Basically, if mountains are your thing, this is your place. From fresh air and unspoiled grandeur to the thrill of tackling extreme sports in front of a mighty backdrop, Valemount and its surroundings will take your breath away.
This charming little village sits in a valley on the eastern edge of British Columbia, Canada's western-most province and proud host of the 2010 Winter Olympics. You can find it off Highway 5, a little over an hour west of Jasper National Park, and just steps outside Mount Robson Provincial Park, home to the highest peak in the Canadian Rockies.
From all indications, Valemount is on the cusp of a growth spurt. Investing in mountain resort properties has huge potential! British Columbia real estate investments are highly sought after by Canadians, and it is growing in popularity with overseas investors in Britain and the rest of Europe. With the upcoming exposure offered by next year's Winter Olympics, this province is going to be on the world-wide stage in more ways than one. Individuals looking to get in on the ground floor of the "next big opportunity" (think Canmore without the stress and rush of a metropolis at its doorsteps) should seriously consider what this place has to offer... especially considering that last fall's economic downturn has cooled the frenetic pace of real estate price increases. Once again, it has become a very good time to buy.
Despite any temporary slowdowns, however, growth is still expected. Both the provincial and federal governments announced in 2008 that funds were being made available to assist with downtown beautification and local road improvements. One week after Valemount's 2009 30th anniversary edition of their local Valemountain Days celebration, a portion of 5th Avenue became a construction zone as work on the facelift began.

The other objective of this website is to market the Valemountain Vistas project. This is a planned townhouse complex in the heart of the village (along 6th Avenue) — definitely the first of its kind in Valemount. Once development is underway, this space will be used to communicate project status.
