From the cozy log-hewn lodge, you'll take in the same mind-blowing scenery that's astounded mountaineers for a century. History abounds but so do modern, deluxe comforts.

Experience

The audible crack of glaciers calving, a mountainside of mica reflecting like a mirror, peaks towering to an unimaginable scale. The heli-accessed hiking program takes guests into untamed wilderness for guided hiking, family-friendly adventures and adrenaline-fueled fun from zip-lines and glacier-laden treks to sky-high (iron path) via ferrata climbing routes. From gaining vertical on established trails to viewpoints of dramatic waterfalls or route-finding across open terrain framed by subalpine wildflower meadows, your experience is defined by solitude, wonder and awe around every corner. Sometimes the best hikes are the extreme hikes.

Adventure

From family heli-hiking to breathtaking sky ladders to photo workshops, CMH Bugaboos will be a vacation you won’t forget. Every day promises a host of amazing adventures based on local conditions, personal ability and preferred activity types. With high elevation terrain so close to the lodge, you are staying in the heart of it all. The mountains here are big and the landscape ever-changing; catch a morning helicopter to primeval swirling glaciers, theatrical spires or raise your adrenaline on a thrilling (iron path) via ferrata. As a group you’ll get so far off the beaten path that there aren’t any paths at all—then you’ll head back to civilization (and a very luxe lodge).

Non-hiking partners or family members will be just as happy on the yoga mat or running the 15.5-mile trail.

Three meals a day are provided with a hearty breakfast starting the morning, a packed picnic lunch and a gourmet family-style dinner every evening.
