Amiskwi Lodge

Activities: Hiking, Nature, Photography

Far away, in the Canadian Rocky Mountains, far away even for the locals, you can find spectacular scenery, excellent backcountry skiing, snowboarding and hiking, and best of all, a place to hang your hat - right next to the snow-shoes. Amiskwi lodge is self-guided and self-catered, which means that you look after yourself once you're there. You should be experienced in backcountry navigation, and be prepared to carry appropriate survival gear. In the summer, weather is typical of the Rocky Mountains. We can get hot bathing suit days where all you'll want to do is cool off in the mountain streams and swim in the mountain lakes. We can also have cool rainy mountain weather so don't forget the rain gear!

The lodge is situated above Amiskwi pass, just outside of the west boundary of Yoho National Park. At an elevation of 6900 ft (2104 m), Amiskwi is blessed with a winter-time average of 2.5 m snowpack. The lodge affords breath-taking views of the Mummery group to the northwest, Des Poilus and Arete peaks to the southeast, as well as an expansive view south down the old native trade route of the Amiskwi River Valley.

The recently restored two-story log building has a fully equipped kitchen where up to 16 people can enjoy their meals around a huge handmade table. Sitting around the fire crackling in the wood stove is a perfect way to end the day. We also have a great sun room with fantastic views - a place to sit and relax. The four upstairs bedrooms provide privacy, propane lighting and comfy beds just waiting to restore your energy where fresh air and beautiful views can be enjoyed. If you are sore after a day on the slopes or a big day of hiking, try our traditional wood fired sauna. The ideal group size for the lodge is 12 people, although 16 people can be accommodated easily.
