It is located 641 kilometers (398 miles) east of Vancouver, and 415 kilometers (258 miles) west of Calgary, Alberta. The city is situated on the banks of the Columbia River just south of the Revelstoke Dam and near its confluence with the Illecillewaet River. East of Revelstoke are the Selkirk Mountains and Glacier National Park, penetrated by Rogers Pass used by the Trans-Canada Highway and the Canadian Pacific Railway. South of the community down the Columbia River are the Arrow Lakes and the road to the Kootenays. West of the city is Eagle Pass through the Gold Range of the Monashee Mountains and the route to Shuswap Lake and points west.

Revelstoke Mountain Resort is a major ski resort just outside Revelstoke, British Columbia. The resort offers about 2,000 hectares of skiable terrain and a vertical drop of 1,845 metres (6,100 feet), with 25 lifts and 100 ski and snowboard trails. Revelstoke offers the highest "vertical drop", by far, of any resort in North America, as well as having the fourth highest drop in the world. In terms of size, it is about the same as other major resorts like Vail or Panorama, and about one-third the size of Whistler-Blackcomb. On its peak the mountain receives an average of 1,200 cm of snow a year, about double that of Whistler, and its higher overall altitude offers better quality "lighter" snow as well.

The development also includes a huge real estate build-out with 16,600 beds in total, and golf courses for summer use.
Revelstoke is also the site of a railway museum well known throughout Canada.
