True North Living
Life is busy. Hectic. And full of competing priorities. Because of this, Canadians are increasingly seeking out unique travel experiences that let them slow down, be in the moment, and breathe in the natural surroundings. Mount Engadine Lodge in Alberta’s Kananaskis Country needs to be at the top of your list.
The setting is a major part of the experience. Far enough from the demands of city life, yet close enough to be easily reachable. The Lodge sits in Spray Valley Provincial Park, located south of Canmore and Banff, and is just two hours from Calgary. It’s the only accommodation in the park and one of the few road-accessible backcountry lodges in the Rockies.
The all-inclusive experience
The award-winning Mount Engadine Lodge offers a truly unique experience. Some places you have to drive to be in nature, here you are part of the landscape. Set atop a lush meadow and surrounded by limestone peaks, guests are treated to spectacular alpine vistas.
The breathtaking views aside, this a place that lets you unwind and disconnect. With a guest capacity of 38, you’re guaranteed a quiet, intimate experience. Getting away from the crowds and experiencing the stunning Alberta backcountry doesn’t mean sacrificing comfort. You can choose from a diverse range of accommodation options, including mountain-lodge rooms, rustic cabins, glamping tents, or a yurt. This is paired with delicious, all-inclusive gourmet meals made with locally sourced, seasonal ingredients that can be tailored to your taste.
People are looking for hotels and resorts that build sustainability into their operations. Given the pristine environment it shares space with, Engadine Lodge prioritizes this. It’s an Eco-Stay Certified lodge, sources local ingredients, and thanks to the support of guests and efforts of staff has planted 7,400 trees over the past decade. All of this maintains the lodge’s carbon-neutral certification.
You choose the adventure you want
The thing about a visit to Mount Engadine Lodge is you choose the experience you want. It’s okay to find a comfortable spot and sit and enjoy the scenery. Or if you’re looking for something more active, staff have insider knowledge of the best hiking trails for the season, and where to go biking, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing. After a day of exploring, you can enjoy the lodge’s sauna. And free from light pollution, stargazing at Engadine is stellar. When the conditions are just right, you can even see the Northern Lights.
But the activities aren’t just found outside, the Lodge is committed to enhancing your stay by offering monthly in-house events, including a harvest/long-table dinner in October, November’s Mountain Melody live music series, and the festive Christmas at Engadine.
Whether you’re looking for a relaxing mountain adventure, a romantic getaway, family vacation, or the perfect place for a group retreat, you’re in for an unforgettable experience.
