As one of the first backcountry lodges in the Valhallas we had the pick of the crop and chose this spot for its diverse terrain, incredible snow and spectacular scenery. The lodge sits at 2,100 metres (6900 ft) and is surrounded by 10 alpine bowls and plenty of long tree runs. Inside are five separate bedrooms, propane lights, wood heat and a cedar sauna. It’s available guided and self-guided in winter and as a rental in summer.
