The 'World's Longest Skating Path' Is In BC & It's Surrounded By Towering Mountains (PHOTOS)

This magical skating path winds it's way along a frozen lake, surrounded by snow-peaked mountains on every side. The magical scene is actually the "world's longest skating path," and makes for the perfect winter activity.

This unique skating experience is located in Invermere, B.C. on Lake Windermere. The path is called the "Whiteway" and it has 34 kilometres of track that runs around the entire lake.

Within this long ice path, you can find different tracks for classic cross-country and skate skiing, plus, a cleared ice-skating track.

A great place to start the Whiteway is to begin at Kinsmen Beach, but there are also two other starting points including one at the Invermere Bay Condos and one at Windermere Beach, according to its website.

Each of the starting points should have a large sign with a map, important information and a donation box.

The Whiteway is maintained by the Toby Creek Nordic Ski Club, so you can look at their Facebook page for updates.

You can purchase day passes or annual passes for the skating path, and the proceeds go towards the Toby Creek Nordic Club to ensure they can keep up with all of the outdoor recreation maintenance.

Although this amazing ice skating path is located in B.C, it's closer to the city of Calgary, than Vancouver. To get to Lake Windermere from Vancouver is a daunting nine-hour drive, but if you're looking for an exciting winter road trip this could be it.

Otherwise, to get to the ice path from Calgary it's only a three-hour drive.
