Save up to 20% when you book directly via our website!
Did you know that as paying guests you pay extra 6-20% when booking through a 3rd party platform such as Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com, Expedia, Trip Advisor etc? That's paying an additional $CAD100+ difference for a 2 night stay! 3rd party platforms charges guests extra as fees and takes a substantial percentage from hosts earnings as well. Thus we created our own website in order to provide greater savings for you and a more personalized experience as a whole.

Mount 7 Golden BC | Canadian Rockies
Golden Mountain View Suites is right at the base of the Golden’s iconic Mt. 7. Mount 7 is a mountain in the Canadian Rockies just southeast of Golden, British Columbia. It is named for the characteristic "7" formation visible in the snow near its peak, visible for several weeks around mid-June due to the melting pattern of snow and ice at its cap.
Every summer, for a short-lived, week-long period, a natural wonder emerges in the mountains high above Golden, British Columbia. Mount 7, named for its characteristic “7” snow formation caused by a unique melting pattern of snow and ice, draws in thousands of tourists hoping to catch a glimpse.
A hike up to the upper paraglider launch site from the main (ie lower) paraglider launch site. The trail ends at the NW ridge leading to the peak of Mt 7 another 200m above. Great views of the Columbia Valley, and you might see paragliders taking off. https://goldenhikes.ca/trail/m...
