Surrounded by peaks and glaciers, Callaghan Lodge is an ideal venue for backcountry ski touring. The area features an incredible variety of terrain including high alpine bowls, glaciers, glades, pillow drops and gently rolling hills. To be enjoyed to the fullest, guests should be of intermediate skiing ability or better, have a fitness level that allows them to actively ski for at least 4 hours per day, and be capable of handling the challenges of ascending and descending in a variety of snow conditions. It is helpful to have some previous experience skiing powder, as well as some backcountry touring or side-country experience. No AST/AIARE certification is required to participate. Rest assured you’ll be placed in a touring group that suits your ability level. You can rent or buy many backcountry gear items at evo Backcountry in Whistler Village. Please know that backcountry ski touring is not without risk.

You will be sent more detailed instructions for meeting with the group after booking. The meeting place will be the Callaghan Country staging area. To get there from Whistler: From Whistler, head south-west on Highway 99 towards Vancouver. Approximately 13km (8 miles) from Whistler Village, turn right off Highway 99 onto the Callaghan Valley Access Road. Follow the main route for about 8.5 km. Immediately before the entrance to Whistler Olympic Park, you will see our banner on your left. Turn left, cross over a bridge and follow the signs into our base facility.

Our capacity on this trip is 12 guests.

The 2nd floor of the lodge houses suite style room. These suites can be upgraded to for an additional cost if desired, on a first come first served basis. The Solitude Suite is a spacious corner suite features a bedroom (with a queen bed), en-suite bathroom, private living room (with pull-out sofa), cozy gas fireplace, and a large private balcony. The views from the suite span the Solitude Glacier and Mount Callaghan highlighting the breathtaking backdrop that is “Callaghan Country”. The Solitude Suite can be booked for up to 4 guests. The cost to upgrade to this suite is $210 per a person (double occupancy required for this rate) for the duration of the trip. This supplement fee can be waived if you have a party of 3 or 4 who would like to occupy this suite. There are two Superior Suites on the 2nd floor as well. Considered ‘hotel-style’ suites, each Superior Suite features a comfortable queen bed, an en-suite bathroom and private balcony. These suites can be upgraded into for an additional $100 per a person (double occupancy required for this rate) for the duration of the trip. The 3rd floor of the lodge is patterned on a Scandinavian design, featuring a few simple, yet comfortable and private sleeping quarters for single or double occupancy. All guests accommodated in these rooms share a walk-out balcony and common area, two bathrooms and a shower room (found down the hall). The room types available are categorized as “standard” or “nook”. (Please note, nook rooms do not have windows but do have an air vent). Please visit https://www.callaghancountry.com/suites-and-rooms.html to see details on room types.

Rooms will be assigned on a first-come first served basis. Rooms with 2 separate beds are limited and are subject to availability at time of booking. Standard rooms will be issued first, followed by sleeping nooks. Suite style rooms can be booked with an additional fee, on a first come first served basis. If you would like to know the current availability of rooms prior to booking, please email [email protected] and we will be happy to help you.

Please note if you are a solo traveler, rooms with 2 separate beds are limited. If you are open to rooming with another solo traveler of the same gender, note that at the time of booking. If you prefer a single room, that can be arranged for an additional fee.

We will do our best to pair solo travelers of the same gender together in a room with two beds. If no roommates are available, or all rooms with separate beds are full, solo travelers will be "forced" into a single room. You will be asked to pay 50% of the single supplement to cover the cost of your room. In this case, as the single supplement varies between room types, cost will vary. Please note roommates are paired on a first come, first served basis, so the earlier you book the less likely you will be "forced" into a single room!

There is no internet or wifi available at the lodge.

Please pack light. All guest luggage must be transported in a snowmobile trailer to the lodge. Everything you bring should fit into one small duffel bag (or backpack) and a ski equipment bag. Please see our Winter Packing List web page for a list of recommended gear. In addition to your ski clothes and equipment, don’t forget to bring warm and cozy lodge clothes – there’s nothing like a hot shower, a pair of fleece pajamas and warm down booties or slippers at the end of an exhilarating winter day of playing outside in the mountains!

No. All of the rooms in the lodge feature cozy goose down comforters, and come with pillows and sheets. We also provide towels and face cloths, but you will want to bring your own toiletries.

Yes! Unlike most other remote lodges, Callaghan Lodge has running water, indoor plumbing, and electricity. That being said, because the electricity is provided by a generator, it is only available when the generator is running: Generator Times Morning...Approximately 7:30am – 9:30am Evening...Approximately 4:00pm – 10:00pm Please note: 1. Our water pump is powered by the generator. Accordingly, showers, flushing the toilet and using the taps is only possible when the generator is on. Showers should be planned accordingly. When the generator is not on, each toilet will only have one flush. Use it wisely. 2. Please conserve water as much as possible. Our holding tank is quite small. 3. Please bring a headlamp or flashlight in case you need to get up in the night. 4. Please leave your hairdryers and other devices requiring electricity at home.

As we are not licensed to serve alcohol, we instead welcome you to bring your own. Packing your own mix is also a great idea, if you want to be sure to have it on hand. Please be aware that anything you bring has to be transported to the lodge in a snowmobile trailer or snowcat; therefore, cans are better than bottles (although, they should still be separated from each other to prevent impact punctures). Any glass bottles should be wrapped in plastic (just in case) and then well-packed to protect from breakage. We cannot accept responsibility for alcohol that gets damaged along the way, so please use due care.

Journeyman Lodge’s resident chef is eager to delight your palate and regale you of your previous day's adventures in one of the most isolated and picturesque dining rooms in the Whistler area! Our menu is 'Chef Select' and changes daily and seasonally. If you wish to know the day’s entrees, please ask upon your arrival at the Lodge.
