Backcountry Accommodations
If you're prepared to lace up your hiking boots for a true mountain experience, consider
June-late Sept. and mid-Dec.-mid-Apr., $275 pp), north of the Lake Louise ski resort and
far from the nearest road. Getting there requires an 11-kilometer (6.8-mile) hike or ski,
depending on the season. The lodge is an excellent base for exploring nearby valleys and
mountains. It dates to 1931, when it operated as a lodge for local Banff skiers, and is now a
National Historic Site. Today it comprises a main lodge, sleeping cabins, and a wood-fired
sauna. Accommodations are rustic (propane heat but no electricity) but comfortable, with
mostly twin beds in the main lodge and cabins that sleep up to five. Rates include three
meals daily, including a picnic lunch that guests build from a buffet-style layout before
heading out hiking or skiing. The dining room and lounge center around a wood-burning
fire, where guests come together each evening to swap tales from the trail and mingle with
the convivial hosts.
