AWESOME OUTDOORS LIFESTYLE
Without a doubt, the biggest pro visiting North Vancouver is the access to outdoor recreation opportunities. North Van is located in an absolutely stunning setting, surrounded by forests, rivers, and mountains.
The city is nestled right at the base of the towering North Shore Mountain Range, which means you can be at the top of a 1,449-meter-tall mountain – Mount Seymour — in just 30 minutes from your suite! Besides Mount Seymour, there are two other local mountains for downhill skiing and snowboarding – Grouse Mountain (10 min) and Cypress Mountain (20 min). These three local mountains are popular for wintertime sports like skiing and snowshoeing, but also offer a variety of summertime activities.
North Vancouver has over 3000 hectares of parks and greenways, so you can find plenty of hiking, biking, or running trails. Kayaking, canoeing, and paddleboarding are other popular outdoor activities in the neighborhoods around Deep Cove on the Indian Arm Inlet.
PUBLIC TRANSIT
North Vancouver is part of the TransLink public transit network and has the most unique, and arguably most reliable, public transportation option – the SeaBus. The SeaBus runs from Lonsdale Quay in North Vancouver over to Waterfront Station in Vancouver.
