The Setting and Seasons

Amiskwi Lodge is open Winter & Summer - It's the perfect backcountry base for your Rocky Mountain adventures...

This backcountry lodge is situated above Amiskwi pass, just outside of the west boundary of Yoho National Park. At an elevation of 6900 ft (2104 m), Amiskwi is blessed with a winter-time average of 2.5 m snowpack. The lodge affords breath-taking views of the Mummery group to the northwest, Des Poilus and Arete peaks to the southeast, as well as an expansive view south down the old native trade route of the Amiskwi River Valley.

In Winter...

In winter Amiskwi offers excellent ski touring and backcountry snowboarding. The lodge is located at treeline so you can venture up Crystal Ridge for fabulous open bowls, gullies and rolling terrain. If the visibility isn’t great, the glades and chutes heading down into the valley are endless. During the many excellent day tours, explore the ridges, bowls and burns for some amazing Rocky Mountain powder.

...and Summer

Mountain hiking doesn't get any better than what you'll find at Amiskwi - wildflower-filled meadows above tree line; amazing vistas of rugged peaks and glaciers in all directions and high ridge-top hiking for miles. There are spectacular views of the Wapta Icefields, the Presidents, Howes Pass and the Freshfield Icefields.

Amiskwi Lodge itself is perched on the edge of a high plateau with absolutely indescribable view of the Mummery Group among others!
