Located in the
Howson Range, near Smithers, in northern British Columbia, the area
is also known as Tazdli Wiyez Bin, the place of rushing waters and
will soon be one of B.C.'s newest parks. If places like the Stikine
Ice-Cap or the massive and remote peaks of the Saint Elias Mountains
are more your style, we will take you there too.
Burnie Glacier Chalet offers all the charm of a European mountain hut, but instead of sharing it with hundreds, the beautiful post and beam lodge which sleeps eleven is exclusively yours. In the evenings guests gather around a hand-crafted dining table, while wood crackles in the cook stove and dinner simmers on top. A sauna will keep you clean and relaxed. Come join us and let your spirit soar with Bear Mountaineering and the Burnie Glacier Chalet.

Let
your spirit soar with Bear Mountaineering & Burnie Glacier Chalet,
near Smithers in the rugged mountains of northwestern British Columbia,
Canada. This is where unparalleled mountain and ski experiences
await you. Whether you are looking for demanding mountain experiences
-- big alpine routes, bagging peaks and climbing steep ice -- or
hoping to carve turns in deep powder and return to the warmth of
a cozy chalet at night … your IFMGA guide and staff will be
there for you.
Enjoy
the best ski mountaineering that Canada has to offer, at the remote
Burnie Glacier Chalet, with Bear Mountaineering. Our backcountry
lodge is surrounded by incredible terrain for hikers, mountaineers
and backcountry skiers. With access only by air, Burnie Glacier
Chalet is truly a European-style mountain lodge surrounded by dazzling
peaks … and because our operating area is non-motorized it's
a peaceful wilderness experience.
Explore
some of the most rugged and little-explored mountains in British
Columbia at the Burnie Glacier Chalet. Here you'll find deep powder
with 1,700 metres (6,000 ft) of vertical, tree runs, long ascents
over intricate glaciers. Winters can be exciting before the snow
is deep enough to ski so why not learn the high-adrenaline sport
of ice climbing. Frozen, blue waterfalls adorn the steep faces and
gullies of our mountains in the cold seasons. Learn in a weekend
with all ice climbing gear supplied. We can also provide you with
Avalanche Training. Your instructor has guided and trained mountaineers
for 20 years, taught mountain guides and avalanche professionals,
and developed snow avalanche control programs for government and
industry.
During
the spring and summer immerse yourself in a naturalist's paradise.
When the mountain meadows and rocky slopes of the Howson Range are
carpeted with wildflowers, their riotous colours add life to a majestic
landscape of dark rock and blue ice. Caribou, grizzly bears, marmots,
mountain goats and wolverine are at home in these mountains. We'll
tread carefully among them respecting their place … and at
night, the warm and comfortable Burnie Glacier Chalet invites us
in.
