8, 9 or 12 days (UK to UK) - guided or self-guided from the wilderness base

• Stunning high Alpine Canadian wilderness
• Only accessible by helicopter
• Warm,cosy chalet accommodation

Nestled amidst a wild landscape of blooming alpine meadows, towering peaks, deep forested valleys, huge waterfalls, jade-coloured lakes and glistening glaciers in British Columbia's Selkirk Mountains is a hidden gem: the Durrand Glacier Lodge. With this as a base during this exciting trip, you will have over 75 kilometres of maintained trails, ranging far and wide in difficulty and length. Whilst one trail may offer you the best opportunity for viewing mountain goats on a high plateau, another may bring you to the edge of an awe inspiring glacial terminus and a further trail will have you ambling through the most spectacular display of wild flowers imaginable. You can choose to accompany one of the professional guides each day, who overflow with knowledge of flora, fauna, geology, glaciology and more or simply choose to enjoy some magical mountain silence, on a self-guided walk. Wildlife is also an integral part of the area with marmots, grizzly bears, eagles and falcons often visible from the trails.

From the chalet's sundeck you can enjoy fabulous "front row" views of the rising dawn or just sit and soak up Mother Natures scenery, at it's best. Settle in for some delicious home cooked mountain fayre, relax before an open fire and celebrate this alpine paradise far, far away from crowds.
