It lies 79.2 km south-east of McBride, BC (from McBride, BC: bearing 131°T), and is situated 5.5 km north-north-west of Cedarside.

The economy of Valemount has long been tied to the resources of its surroundings, with forestry and, more recently, tourism playing significant roles, each shaping the character of this place where the air often carries the scent of pine and the distant murmur of the river. The vastness of the surrounding wilderness lends a quiet grandeur to daily life, a feeling of being at the edge of something immense and enduring. The cultural character of Valemount is one of hardy independence and a deep connection to the natural world, a spirit forged in the long winters and the vibrant, fleeting summers.

The allure of the landscape draws visitors to explore nearby Mount Robson Provincial Park, a majestic natural fortress, and the pristine waters of Kinuseo Falls, a thunderous spectacle.
