Northern BC is like nothing you've ever experienced - big mountains, rich culture & more bears than people!
The ultimate backcountry experience in the mountains of northwestern BC.
It's big. Much of it is alpine and glaciated. It appeals to stronger skiers.
A backcountry lodge in Canada that offers all the charm of a European mountain hut - all to yourself!
Burnie Glacier Chalet is easy to get to - leave Vancouver in the morning and ski in the afternoon!
Welcome to the Burnie Glacier Chalet. Far north and west of all other British Columbia lodges, we have been a hot tip for years. And we intend to stay so! Please have a look around. The calendar is usually quite accurate, but please contact us if the week you want is full. There are sometimes openings, and things can change. Watch the video, send us a message, and soon we may be skiing or climbing together. The mountains are always waiting.
We loved our course and the entire trip. Sensational views, excellent chalet, highly trained and informative guides, Molly's superb cooking and all that powder.
We have lived in Smithers for 14 years, have travelled the world, and all this time, since 2001, this gem of an experience was right on our doorstep. We will be back a lot more often. We enjoyed the chalet and really appreciated the course, patience and tips we received from Christoph and Lucas. The last time we had someone preparing food for us that was this good was nearly 30 years ago, in a camp where Molly's mother was the cook. Thank you for an amazing experience.
