Assiniboine, the Lodge is surrounded by stunning peaks, alpine meadows filled with wildflowers, larch trees and turquoise lakes.

Assiniboine Lodge is located in Mount Assiniboine Provincial Park in British Columbia 26 kilometres (16 mi) from the nearest road, it is a place of incredible peace … a place where guests disconnect from the busy world and reconnect with nature, family and friends.
