Far from the nearest road, Purcell Lodge and Fortress Lake Wilderness Retreat are hidden jewels in the Kootenay Rockies!

Purcell Lodge leaves the wilderness to the great outdoors, by offering 10  private rooms, balconies, a bar, electricity, hot showers and a dining room reviewed by Gourmet Magazine. 

Accessible only by helicopter, the lodge sits all alone in a mountain meadow lush with grasses and wild flowers in summer and spectacular with deep dry snow in winter.  The opportunities for hiking, cross country or telemark skiing or snowshoeing are unsurpassed.  

If trophy trout fishing or canoeing, kayaking and hiking near a pristine lake surrounded by 4 major icefields, with tumbling glaciers is your wish for a summer getaway, then Fortress Lake Lodge is for you.

You'll enjoy breathtaking views on the hour-long flight along the spine of the Rockies.  Fortress Lake is located in Hamber Provincial Park and is truly a mountain paradise.  Twelve guest can be accommodated in private cabins, far from the crowds of the more popular mountain parks.

It will be a special and memorable wilderness vacation.
