Breathtaking forest runs, high-class prepared and endless slopes with deep powder snow in Western Canada! Walking in a Winter Wonderland with naturalists and Metis (First Nation) guides. Discover nature, seeking tracks of wild animals, away from tourist areas with snowshoes, sled dogs and cross country skis.
New tracks in snow. Fascinating stories from Metis guides about the past and the first explorers in the Alberta Rockies. Also learn about plants and their healing effects. Depending on the trip sled dogs will bring you to a place where you can have lunch in a warming igloo or resting at a sun heated snow wall.
With the naturalist guide you are hiking with snowshoes or skis from the wilderness lodge through the calmness of forests to seeking tracks and follow coyotes, lynx, cougars, wolves, arctic hares and deer. You can walk in the valleys or the wolf researcher takes you in higher located areas where you can find wild animals or tracks.
Fascination: Winter in the Grotto Canyon, formations of ice and pictographs. Here you can learn about meaning of the drawing, hearing, why they are there, who probably left them behind and who did not for sure.
Spend 10-14 days in versatile ski areas in the Rocky Mountains, the Kootenays Rockies and the Purcell Mountains and enjoy exceptional activities.
