Making Memories and Building Family Traditions at Callaghan Country

10/4/2018

0 Comments

 
It isn't a surprise that Scandinavian cultures are recognized for their concepts of Hygge and Friluftsliv; they offer the essential foundation for any good family tradition.  Cultivating your own meaningful family traditions can have numerous positive outcomes: providing a source of identity, strengthening the family bond, offering comfort & security, connecting generations, all the while creating lasting memories.  

This winter we welcome you to our backyard, where guests of all ages can have fun playing & laughing together in the natural world.  Whether you're coming to XC Ski or Snowshoe, our rustic, yet comfortable facilities inspire nostalgia of times past...when family time didn't compete with technologies, and memories were built around traditions of human connection. 

​As you come together for the annual Thanksgiving holidays, we invite you to consider starting some new family traditions in the Callaghan...
Cross country skiing and snowshoeing are great winter activities for families to enjoy together. You'll quickly discover it's more affordable and easier to get into than alpine skiing. Bring the wee ones and comfortably tuck them in for a ride in a Ski Chariot (available for rent at Access Callaghan Ski Shop).  Kids can start Nordic skiing as early as 4 or 5.  ​Trail tickets & Passes here are FREE FOR CHILDREN AGES 6 & UNDER.  It's great exercise, gets you out in the great outdoors, and offers ample opportunity to build genuine family bonds!  Get a full Nordic Season Pass at the best rate available before October 8, 2018​...To purchase the Family Season Passes, please call: 604.964.0059

At the end of your family day in the Callaghan, kick back & toast some marshmallows by the trailside bonfire or cozy up next the fireplace in our rustic warming hut.  It's the perfect setting to swap stories and share in the pride of developing your skills in the outdoors.

Top 5 Reasons to book your Christmas Vacation at Journeyman Lodge 

7/31/2015

Christmas Vacation Journeyman Lodge, Whistler BC
Yes, it’s hot here on the west coast, aaaand Christmas may be the last thing on your mind this BC day long weekend.  But while there’s still a good selection of availability on our Lodge calendar and, likely, your family’s holiday schedules, here’s a few good reasons to plan ahead and consider including Journeyman Lodge in your Christmas festivities this season…

1.  It’s the perfect Winter Wonderland backdrop.  Picture this: After a satisfying ski into a remote mountain wilderness…a crackling fire in the background as you enjoy your family’s company over appies in our lounge area…you look out into the moonlit mountains of the secluded Solitude Valley, surrounding Journeyman Lodge - it’s pretty much a Christmas card come to life!

2. Get cozy and enjoy quality family time free from the craziness of shopping frenzies and technological distractions.  The luxury of any backcountry experience is that it is a true escape from our everyday lives.  The ‘un-plugged” aspect of Journeyman lodge lends itself to genuine human interaction etching memories of character and warmth.

3.  Cut your contributions to consumer culture and gift this authentic experience instead of stuff.  This is a gift you can really feel good about giving; the receiving ain’t so bad either!

4.  You pay in advance.  This eases the usual cash flow crunch experienced when  the holidays arrive, plus once you’re here there’s no unexpected costs…our packages are all inclusive so you can enjoy the peace of mind knowing you’re not going to need to run any last minute errands. 

5. Let our team work their charm.  Now this one is a bit of a secret: with the holiday season kicking off our winter calendar, this is the Callaghan Country team’s favourite time to please.  We love seeing our guests enjoy their families and truly connecting so we’re going to be striving extra hard to make the trip special for you!

Callaghan Country is now offering a multi-night discount on holiday reservations at Journeyman Lodge (seriously!)  The best way to make your reservation is to take a look at our online reservation calendar, book now>>, or call us directly Monday thru Friday: 1.877.938.0616
