Battle Abbey - A Backcountry Powder Skiers' Paradise in the Selkirk Mountains

Backcountry skiing, backpacking, hiking and rock climbing with Wildtrips

In 1978 Bill Putnam and Hans Gmoser built a back country mountaineering hut in the heart of the Selkirk Mountains. Over the years it has evolved into an eclectic skiers' paradise. Imagine a remote, rugged valley enclosed by majestic glaciated peaks. High on a forested shoulder, at the foot of one of the glaciers, there is a comfortable back country lodge. Surrounding the lodge, nothing but peaks, sky and a deep valley to the north. Endless runs to ski and places to enjoy. Its a private mountain playground. Have a look for yourself.

Touring Assisted Heli Skiing

We've been doing it for years. Fly in to Battle Abbey by helicopter, slap on your hides and start touring in some of Canada's finest terrain. At the end of the week, the helicopter will fly you back out to Golden. Read on for more details....

There are still spaces available at the Abbey this season. Click here for details.
