Adventures that'll stick with you long after you've left
We've got something cooking for every season and every mood. Whether you're chasing powder, inner peace, or just a damn good meal, you're in the right place.
Summer up here hits different. The alpine meadows explode with wildflowers, and the trails open up to views that'll make your Instagram followers jealous. Our guides know every hidden lake and secret viewpoint - they've been exploring these mountains for years. We're talking sunrise hikes, mountain biking on trails that weave through cedar groves, and rock climbing spots for everyone from first-timers to people who basically live in harnesses.
The shoulder seasons? That's when locals really come alive. Spring brings waterfalls that are absolutely raging with snowmelt, and the valley floor turns into this crazy quilt of green. Fall is when the larches turn gold and you get whole mountainsides that look like they're on fire. Less crowded trails, better wildlife spotting (hello bears getting ready for hibernation), and weather that's perfect for those all-day adventures where you actually want to keep moving.
Our guides aren't just certified - they're the kind of people who can identify bird calls, track animals, and tell you stories about the mountains that you won't find in any guidebook. Every tour's a bit different because, well, nature doesn't do scripts. But that's the whole point.
For those who came here to get after it - multi-day packages that combine the best high-octane stuff. Zip-lining through the canopy, via ferrata routes, glacier walks, and rappelling down waterfalls. We'll push your limits but keep you safe. Promise your legs will be sore and your phone will be full of photos you can't wait to show everyone.
The whole hot-cold-rest cycle isn't just trendy wellness stuff - it actually works. Our thermal pools are fed by natural springs, and when you're soaking in that hot water looking up at snow-covered peaks, something just clicks. The cold plunge is intense (not gonna lie), but that's where the magic happens. Three cycles and you'll feel like a completely different person.
We've got massage therapists who know how to work out those knots from skiing all day (or from sitting at a desk all year). Hot stone treatments, aromatherapy sessions, and body wraps using local botanicals. Book individual sessions or build them into a longer wellness package. Either way, you're leaving looser than when you arrived.
Not a full retreat person? We get it. Drop into our daily classes instead. Morning vinyasa flow to wake everything up, restorative evening sessions to wind down, and these awesome outdoor classes when weather permits. Our instructors meet you where you're at - whether that's your first downward dog or your thousandth. Small groups mean actual attention and adjustments that matter.
This Japanese practice of shinrin-yoku is basically the antidote to modern life. Slow, intentional walks through old-growth forest with a guide who helps you actually notice stuff - textures, smells, sounds you'd normally walk right past. It's not hiking for distance, it's walking for presence. Sounds simple (maybe even boring?) but people finish these sessions looking genuinely changed.
Saturday mornings, Sarah opens up the kitchen for hands-on classes. Learn to make pasta from scratch, master those knife skills you've been meaning to work on, or figure out how to actually cook wild salmon without drying it out. Small groups, lots of wine, and you eat everything you make. People leave with recipes, techniques, and usually plans to come back for the next one.
British Columbia's wine scene is seriously underrated. Our sommelier leads tastings every Thursday evening featuring wineries from the Okanagan, Similkameen, and Vancouver Island. Plus local craft spirits that are doing really interesting things. Paired with small bites from the kitchen, obviously. You'll discover bottles you've never heard of and wonder why you've been sleeping on BC wines all this time.
For special occasions or when you just want something extraordinary - our chef's table seats up to eight in the kitchen. Watch the whole operation up close, ask questions between courses, and experience a tasting menu designed specifically for your group. Sarah'll work with your preferences and dietary stuff, but she also loves to surprise people with combinations they wouldn't expect. It's the kind of meal you're still talking about months later.
Spring through fall, join our foraging guide Marcus for morning walks where you'll learn to identify edible plants, mushrooms, and berries. He's been doing this since he was a kid and knows these forests inside out. Whatever you find comes back to the kitchen, where Sarah incorporates it into that evening's dinner. You haven't lived until you've eaten chanterelles you picked yourself that morning.
Throughout the year we host special food-focused weekends - wild game dinners in fall, truffle celebrations in winter, seafood feasts in summer. These are full-on events with multiple courses, drink pairings, live music sometimes, and always a bunch of people who came as strangers and left as friends. Check our calendar because they sell out pretty quick, and yeah, there's usually a waitlist.
Honestly, choosing between all this stuff can be tough. Give us a call and we'll help you build the perfect itinerary based on when you're coming, what you're into, and how much adventure (or relaxation) you're craving.
