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 via ferrata (iron path) 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

The terrain of the Cariboos is arguably the most beautiful with soaring peaks, massive glaciers and densely forested valleys featuring stunning lakes and wetlands. Every day promises a host of amazing adventures based on local conditions, personal ability and preferred activity types. You and your guides take off by helicopter to explore ancient glaciers, majestic peaks, canyon waterfalls, the Zillmer Canyon (iron path) via ferrata, vast alpine meadows or turquoise tarns. Whether you want to stride into adventure or hit new heights, the rugged, remote Cariboos are calling.

Highlights

You don’t need to conquer the mountains to enjoy them to the fullest. CMH has designed a relaxed, alpine experience that’s perfectly within everyone’s comfort zone and far beyond anything you’ve imagined. Non-hiking family members won’t begrudge you or your heli runs because they’ll be otherwise occupied at the lodge with activities including a climbing wall and bouldering cave. 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. After a day of exploration, soak in the hot tub, take a sauna, book a massage or head to the bar for aprés-adventure refreshment. And don’t worry about packing gear, guests are provided with necessary equipment.
