Assiniboine Lodge is Canada's oldest backcountry ski lodge. Located the Mount Assiniboine Provincial Park in the beautiful British Columbia's mountains, the lodge is the ultimate adventure getaway for skiers in the winter and hikers in the summer. The property is now open, following an extensive renovation led by BC Parks. Originally built in 1928 by the Canadian Pacific Railway as the first ski lodge in the Canadian Rockies, the lodge's foundation started to fail. During the renovation, the historic building had to be rolled 50 feet forward onto the meadow to rebuild the foundation. The original ambiance was carefully preserved during the restoration. The full service hotel can accommodate 30 guests at a time in 7 private cabins and 5 lodge rooms. Activities and services include guided hiking and ski touring, gourmet meals, warm showers, rolling in the snow after a sauna and goose down duvets.
The property is 28 kilometers from the nearest road and completely off the grid. The lodge is only accessible by helicopter, hiking or skiing. The property tends to sell out during peak times so be sure to book ahead of time. (403 678 2883)
