VMT is a long cry from a plywood palace and the visions that terms like “hut” and “cabin” bring to mind. Our unique location allows us to have amenities that are unheard of in most backcountry locations.
Indoor flush toilets, hot showers, and a timber post-an-beam craftmanship from logs that are locally milled. This is truly a lodge with all of the amenities of home, and wilderness hiking out the front door.
Valhalla Mountain Touring is a luxurious backcountry ski and hiking lodge located in the West Kootenay Region of BC. Summer guests at VMT enjoy exploring beautiful hiking trails to ridges, lakes and summits or simply soaking in the tranquility of a mountain retreat.
Trip that includes 4 nights (Monday to Friday) of exclusive accommodation at the lodge for your group of up to 8 guests in the summer of 2025 (dates subject to availability).

In 25 local sections across Canada, all year round, members of the ACC climb, ski, hike, go to the gym, clean up crags, build trails, and gather for social events. From St. John’s to Vancouver Island to the Yukon, thousand of club outings are run by volunteers each year.
Pulling from the 2024 ACC Gazette, these stories are from our club members, in their own words, about an aspect of their section that is special to them.
In the late summer of 2023, Isobel Phoebus, Sasha Yasinksi and Sara Lilley established a new route on the southwest face of Gladsheim Peak in the Valhalla Mountain Range, supported by the Jen Higgins Grant for Young Women.
We appreciate that the lands known today as Canada are home to the enduring presence of all First Nations and Métis people, and the Inuit and we acknowledge the past, present, and future generations of these Nations who continue to lead us in stewarding this land, as well as honour their knowledge and cultural ties to this place. The Alpine Club of Canada’s head office is located in the traditional lands of Treaty 7, which is comprised of the Stoney Nakoda Nations of Wesley, Chiniki, and Bearspaw; three Nations of the Blackfoot Confederacy: the Piikani, Kainai, and Siksika; the Mountain Cree; and the Tsuu T’ina of the Dene people. This territory is also shared with the Métis Nation of Alberta, Region III. Before the signing of Treaty 7, and prior to the establishment of provincial boundaries, this region was also used by the Ktunaxa and the Maskwacis people.
