Purcell Mountain Lodge in British Columbia
2 to 7 Days
Less than three hours from Calgary International Airport, nestled in the heart of southern Canada’s largest alpine meadow, and surrounded by hundreds of square kilometers of untouched wilderness, the Lodge is a place of equal parts adventure and pampered leisure. It is a remote oasis of colourful and delicate wildflowers in the summer, and an untracked expanse of powder snow for skiing and snowshoeing in the winter. Guests fly to the Lodge by helicopter from Golden B.C., a 15-minute flight that takes them high over the mountain peaks of the Purcell Range in the Canadian Rockies.
