Santa Claus is coming to Callaghan Country

Enjoy festive holiday activities at the Alexander Falls Touring Centre (1st Entrance to Ski Callaghan): It's a natural winter-wonderland up here, so come, roast marshmallows by the trailside bonfire, wander the forest by snowshoe & play a game of Callaghan Country's nature bingo, participate in some natural crafting and Christmas decor, and of course get your photo with Santa!

Can't get enough of the Callaghan? This Holiday Season, treat yourself and your family to the ultimate winter experience found right here at Callaghan Country! Typically an 'older-kid' and adult-only accommodation, we exceptionally allow families with young children in our Journeyman Lodge during the Holiday Season.

Many families have already booked their Holiday stay with us but there is still some vacancies remaining through Christmas and in the New Year, so don't delay and book now for your best Holiday memories yet. ***We are pleased to honour 55% off to guests 13 yrs & under for reservations Dec.20-25 & Jan 5-7***

Tis the Season to think: SAFETY

With the Official Opening weekend of Journeyman Lodge finally upon us, we couldn't be more stoked for another season seeing more and more guests embarking on new and inspiring winter backcountry adventures.

Regardless of whether you are ski touring, split-boarding, mountaineering or snowshoeing, it is critical that your #1 objective is to return safely. That means equipping yourself with the knowledge and skills to explore wisely. The AdventureSmart website (www.adventuresmart.ca) offers a wealth of helpful tips and guidelines on a variety of topics ranging from activity specific information to trip planning* and knowledge based programs.

As a starting point specifically for winter backcountry pursuits, we recommend taking the time to review this excellent KNOW BEFORE YOU GO resource page prepared by Backcountry Lodges of BC. It's loaded with pre-trip guides, resources and safety advice. You can also look into the multitude of AST courses being offered by region, here >>

Continuing on our commitment to raising awareness of backcountry safety & building an informed community of wilderness explorers, here at Callaghan Country, we're pleased to these host upcoming Skills Clinics & Courses:
