Join Kootenay Backcountry Guides for a Guided and Catered Touring Week North of Revelstoke!

We are excited to have secured one of B.C best backcountry touring locations during a prime week in the Esplanade Range range for 2023. Below is important information about our catered guided week at Hilda Hut. This trip is currently sold out, however, if you are seriously interested in joining sign up for our waitlist in case there are last-minute cancelations!


Vista Lodge Trip Summary

This zone offers some of the best access to alpine terrain from the middle of a beautiful alpine meadow at the edge of Vista Lake near the source of Schlicting Creek. The long days of March and the incredible alpine runs at Vista are the perfect combinations to finish your winter strong.  The five drainages keep the variety of runs interesting, being the portal to the big alpine zones off Cherub Glacier to the west. 

The lodge is situated at 2150 meters (7050ft) at the edge of Vista Lake, in the center of the Esplanade Range. It is a spacious two stories and can accommodate 12 guests in 7 private rooms (dual occupancy) with additional bedrooms for staff. The bedrooms are fully outfitted with quality bedding including down duvets. Vista also features a separate dining and sauna building, wood and propane heat, freshwater from Vista Lake, power and propane lights, an indoor pee toilet (two outhouses), and a stretching area.

This trip will be 7-full days of unforgettable touring. Guided by two A.C.M.G guides, fully catered by a backcountry chef, with three delicious and nutritious meals provided each day, bring your best apres cocktails to enjoy in the evening sun. 

The maximum group size is 12 of your best friends.
