View from our room

We are surrounded by very tall mountains. They are is very prone to earthquakes and avalanches. In 1964 there was a 9.2 earthquake which destroyed the village and shifted it 2 km up the road. The mountains almost come right down to the highway. The road is often closed in winter while avalanche guns are set off to bring the avalanches down.
There are lots of hikers trails and bike trails for summer activity. The forests are mainly spruce and hemlock trees and there are numerous lovely walks through the forest
