Sightseeing

This is worth the trip if you're looking for winter activities - skating, snowshoeing, skiing, snowboarding. You'll need to take the gondola up. There's a lodge at the top to have a beer and fondue. In the summer, skip the gondie and challenge yourself to the Grouse Grind--a 1.5-hour hike up the mountain!
