Winter Backcountry Lodge Rates

You are in the driver's seat when it comes to deciding on the details of your stay.

First, choose your length of stay:

Unlike many other backcountry lodges, at Callaghan Lodge you can choose to stay for a single night*, a week, or anything in between! At only 1.5 hours from Vancouver, a trip to Callaghan Country makes for a fabulous weekend getaway - weekends do sell out, so book early! Keep in mind that we've got more than enough terrain to keep a keen group of backcountry enthusiasts busy for days, so if you've got the time, treat yourself to a week!

* Please note that there is a 2-night minimum from February 12 - 28, 2010.

Next, choose your accommodation style:

OPTION 1: STANDARD ROOMS

There are five standard rooms located on the third floor. These cozy rooms are similar to the berths found on a ship - we refer to them as sleeping nooks. Three of the rooms feature queen beds and two come with twin beds. Guests in these rooms share two bathrooms and a shower room, found down the hall. Callaghan Valley and Tri-Area Nordic Season Passholders get a great discount on these rooms, as do groups of 6 or more.

OPTION 2: SUPERIOR ROOMS

There are two larger superior 'hotel-style' rooms (each with a queen bed) located on the second floor of the lodge. Each superior room has a private bathroom and a small deck.

OPTION 3: SOLITUDE SUITE

Our finest room is the deluxe Solitude Suite, which features a bedroom (with a queen bed), ensuite, private living room (with pull-out sofa), loft (with pull-out sofa and two twin bunks), and a large private deck. The Solitude Suite can be booked for 2 - 8 people, and for six or more you can get a great group discount!

Next, choose when you'd like to come.

Friday and Saturday nights are the most popular nights of the week so to encourage mid-week bookings we're offering our group rate (15% off) on all of bookings from Sunday to Thursday, regardless of group size. This offer is valid all season long with the exception of December 31, 2009 and between February 12 - 28, 2010.

Finally, choose whether you would like to Ski-in and out from the lodge (best value) or if you'd rather be brought in and out by snowmobile. XC ski rentals can also be added to any of our packages.

BASE PACKAGE: SKI-IN / SKI-OUT

It is a 12.5km or a 13.5km ski to Callaghan Lodge from the base, depending on which trail you take. The Callaghan Mainline trail (13.5km) is an intermediate level ski and Wild Spirit trail (12.5km) is more difficult. The elevation gain from the base to the lodge is 560m (1,850').

The average time to ski in is 3.5 - 4 hours and the average time to ski out is 1.5 - 2 hours (it's almost all downhill on the way out!) Believe it or not, strong athetic types have been known to ski up in an hour and out in 30 minutes!!

Snowshoeing to the lodge is also an option, but make sure to give yourself plenty of time! Expect it to take at least 5 hours each direction. Snowshoers follow our multi-use access trail, Wild Spirit (12.5km).

No matter which trail you take, skiing to Callaghan Lodge is a lot of fun. Pack a lunch, bring your camera and make a day of it! Enjoy spectacular views, stunning old-growth forest, frozen lakes...and the satisfaction of knowing that you did it!!
