Overview

CMH Bobbie Burns Lodge takes mountain adventure to extraordinary heights. From this well-appointed base, enjoy exclusive access to rugged arêtes, striking moraines, glacial valleys, and unforgettable experiences. Conquer the Mount Nimbus Via Ferrata or unwind in sunlit alpine meadows. Whether you crave high-energy exploration or serene natural beauty, this wilderness haven has it all.

The helicopter allows you to explore a variety of sights in a short time. From ancient glaciers, a half-day via ferrata, alpine meadows, mountain ridge walks and lush forested valleys - on any other hiking or walking trip you’d see only one type of mountain terrain. These adventures are suitable for all guests; families, couples, friends, solo travellers, mountaineers, hikers, trekkers, walkers or amblers. It is the perfect introduction to Heli-Hiking.

Heli-accessed hiking program takes guests and professional guides directly into the high country with endless alpine vistas extending to the horizon. From there, your guide will lead you along ridgelines, through alpine meadows, and to stunning viewpoints. Matched to group dynamic, adventures are led by guides with a wealth of knowledge about Canadian mountain flora, fauna, geology and history— as well as stories to share from lifetimes lived in the mountains. From dramatic glaciers to route-finding across open terrain framed by wildflowers, the experience of heli-hiking is defined by wonder, education and awe around every corner.

Our holidays suit every demographic, from couples to singles, to retirees to families and everyone else in between.

Use their travel agent for this service
