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 ziplines 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

No matter how you define adventure, you’ll find it at Bobbie Burns. Explore canyon trails, touch glaciers, gaze at crystalline lakes. For high-flying adrenaline-seekers who are keen to scale granite faces, Bobbie Burns is home to the famous Mt. Nimbus (iron path) via ferrata, a Canadian signature experience. Every day promises a spectacular experience for any age, ability or adventure style. Wherever inspiration takes you, CMH guides will craft the perfect daily itinerary and provide all the gear you need. You and your guides take off by helicopter to hike through alpine meadows and along sun-drenched ridges or get your heart rate up from ziplining across raging rivers and balancing cable and suspension bridge crossings.
