Getting Here

Icefall lodge sits at 6300 feet (1900m) and is accessed by helicopter from Golden BC.

All winter trips to Icefall are fly in, fly out one week trips. We will meet at the Canadian Helicopters Hangar in Golden at 10 am on Saturday. There will be a helicopter safety briefing by the pilot and then 4 flights in. The flights are normally 15 minutes one way. Because space is limited on the helicopter, we limit your personal gear to 2 small packs (Less than 40 liters each). Do not bring large duffle bags or packs. Individual pack weight should not exceed 35 pounds (combined weight) including beverages. The total weight allowed in 4 flights is 4400 pounds. If an extra flight is required due to excess baggage or any other reason, you will be charged for it. See the gear list for required items.

Transportation: There is an international airport in Calgary. Golden can be reached by driving 3 hours west of Calgary. You will be responsible for your own transportation to Golden and from Golden to the staging area (20 minutes to the west). There is transportation available by Greyhound or a shuttle service directly from Calgary International Airport. Please do not leave valuables in the vehicles parked at the staging area.
