Lodge

Icefall Lodge is situated at tree line with living room views of one of the most spectacular, rugged sections of the Canadian Rockies. It consists of two separate lodges and a sauna building. The new lodge is a bright, roomy, 3 story building with log posts and much of the lumber milled on site.  The original building provides additional bedrooms and a separate living room. The lodge is the perfect location for ski touring with tree runs out the front door and a 4000 foot alpine run ending at the back door.

Access to Icefall Lodge is by helicopter. The nearest town, Golden, is 60km away. The lodge is remote and a complete wilderness setting. Banff National Park borders the eastern boundary, offering even more wilderness. There is no heliskiing nearby and you will not see other people either ski touring or hiking.

 

 

The sauna is heated by a small wood stove and has a separate change room.  Shower water is heated in the sauna, and transferred to a watering can. There is a separate shower stall where the watering can is hoisted up and tied off.

Bedrooms

There are an extra 4 bedrooms with the completion of the new lodge. Each of these rooms has two single beds.  The original lodge has another 4 bedrooms; one with 2 single beds and 3 with a queen size bed and a single.  In addition there are 2 loft style rooms with low ceilings.  Duvets, pillows and bedding are provided.

 

Kitchen

The kitchen has been moved into the new lodge. It is bigger, brighter and has more counter space. There is a cold room vented to the outside for refrigeration. It has a 4 burner propane oven, and all cooking and eating utensils for self catered groups. Better yet, sit back and enjoy the views while a chef prepares gourmet meals for you. The dining room is spacious with lots of room for lounging or stretching.

New Lodge

Summer 2008 was a busy time with the completion of the new lodge on time for the ski season. The new lodge adds 4 new bedrooms, as well as a spacious new kitchen and dinning room. It has its own drying room, wood stove and living room area. Overall the size has more than double making your stay much more comfortable.
