Purcell Mountain Lodge

Accessible primarily by helicopter, Purcell Lodge is perched at 2,200 metres (7,200 feet) amidst the alpine slopes of Bald Mountain, in the northern Purcell Mountains. The nearest town is Golden; a 15 minute helicopter ride.

Activities include skiing, snowboarding and snowshoeing in the winter and hiking the custom built trails, wandering through alpine meadows and traversing alpine circuits in the summer.

The Selkirk Mountains lie to the west of the lodge. To the east lie a number of accessible peaks, alpine ridge lines and bowls in the northern Purcells. To the north, the largest alpine meadow in southern Canada stretches to the horizon.
