Backcountry Lodges


Lake O’Hara Lodge

12km from the nearest road, and accessible only by foot or scheduled bus, this is isolated luxury at its best. The small lodge still retains its charm of the 1920’s when it was built by the CPR. Stay in the lodge itself (shared bathrooms) or individual cabins on the lake shore. Meals are included in your stay and are enjoyed in a community style setting around the massive stone hearth. Lake O’Hara has a charm like no other in the Rockies, the hiking trails are some of the best in the world and were created with optimum views in mind. If you want to experience something really special this is the place!
