Cross Country Skiing - Day Trips

 



 

Callaghan Country is a 3,500 hectare wilderness adventure playground situated in the Southern Coast Mountains of British Columbia, Canada.

Just about 110 km north of Vancouver and 20 km southwest of world-famous Whistler Resort, the staging area is right next to the Whistler Olympic Park - venue for all of the Nordic and ski-jumping events for the 2010 Olympic Games.  12.5 km from the main staging area, at an elevation of 4,500' (1,370m) is Callaghan Lodge - Whistler's only full-service, remote access wilderness adventure lodge.

High in the sub-alpine, nestled into a grove of old-growth yellow cedars, our deluxe mountain lodge boasts the ultimate in west coast hospitality and comfort.  Imagine a Whistler chalet before Whistler even existed - and you'll have some idea of what it's like to arrive at Callaghan Lodge: "No roads, no signs, no power lines. Just pure high-alpine terrain."

Perfect for your next inspiring day-visit from Vancouver, or your first natural, and remote mulit-day holiday in beautiful British Columbia!

"Find the Wilderness ~ In it you will Find Yourself."

HIKING / CLIMBING / BIKING / RIDING

Come at a time when the landscape is a scene of pure activity and transformation!

During the summer months the valley floor livens with beautiful alpine flowers, and rushing creeks, while the sounds of young songbirds, and whistling marmots fill the air. 

By mid-September nature changes gears with the bounty of blueberries! The golden hues of fall paint a warm glow as the valley slows in anticipation of the stillness of winter.

Daily/Nightly: November 13 to May 1

 

XC SKIING / SNOWSHOEING / TOURING

With the arrival of winter comes loads of snowfall that blankets the valley in a deep snowpack creating the ultimate in natural winter adventure playgrounds!

An extensive network of fresh groomed ski and snowshoe trails unfolds over gently rolling slopes, powder-filled meadows, frozen lakes, and gigantic stands of old growth forest.

The untouched surrounding peaks, bowls, and glaciers lay as an inspiring backdrop for Nordic recreations or the tantalizing lines that await avid backcountry skiers and snowboarders who have the knowledge and experience to access them.
