Trip Description: Wilderness hiking and adventures with Canadian Mountain Holidays (CMH). One of the best hiking and walking adventure experiences that Canada has to offer, combining hiking in the beautiful Rocky Mountains, with the hospitality and luxury of CMH’s back country lodges.
The trip starts with pick up at Calgary Airport, Banff, or Lake Louise and transport to the Bobbie Burns Lodge. From the Lodge, guests are flown by helicopter to remote meadows, lakes, or glaciers. CMH’s internationally accredited mountain and hiking guides are with guests every step of the way.
This will be a Lodge-to-Lodge itinerary with three nights each at the Bobbie Burns Lodge, and the iconic Bugaboos Lodge. Each lodge offers access to hundreds of acres of terrain and legendary hikes. CMH welcomed 1818 groups in the summers of 2017, 2023 and 2024. Click here to read the blog by Xiao Ye from her 2023 trip with CMH.
