The Alpine Club of Canada first proposed a hut at Robson Pass in 2006, followed by environmental assessments, Indigenous and public consultations, and work with BC Parks to ensure the project supported safe, low‑impact access in an ecologically and culturally significant area.
It was in response to a BC Parks RFP for roofed accommodation that the ACC first proposed a hut to be built as a celebration for the ACC’s Centennial in 2006. The project was delayed by funding and other priorities with plans to construct the hut in 2021, which again was delayed due to the flood event and lumber pricing spike due to supply chain issues during COVID19. 
Progress stalled after the 2021 flood that closed the Berg Lake Trail, limiting access to the site until major reconstruction allowed hikers to return in 2025.
In 2025, nearly two decades after the initial proposal, the ACC announced construction would finally begin. Ennadai Woodworks was contracted to build the hut, with support from partners such as the Valemount Community Forest, which contributed large structural timbers.
The hut is a two‑storey, hybrid timber‑frame design built with sustainable materials and energy‑efficient features, including solar power. Located about 24 km from the Mount Robson Visitor Centre and just beyond Berg Lake, it provides a well‑managed facility in a high‑use backcountry area.
Today, the Robson Pass Hut represents the culmination of long‑term planning and backcountry stewardship, supporting both recreation and environmental protection in one of the Rockies’ most iconic landscapes.
