The VMT Experience
Explore and relax in the Kootenay mountains
Untouched wilderness
With 19,000 acres on the doorstep, there’s an untold number of backcountry adventures to be had.
Located in the heart of the Selkirk Mountains, just north of Valhalla Provincial Park, our tenure is an amazing mix of rugged alpine, high lakes, grassy ridgelines, mossy forest, and wildflower meadows. The views from the top of most peaks peer into a vast sense of wilderness, from the Bugaboos to the Valhalla Ranges, Kokanee Glacier, and the Monashees to the west.
Bring your boots, your bathing suit and your sense of adventure. Discover our hiking trails and routes, go for a swim in our alpine lakes or venture off track and scramble up to the top of our majestic peaks. Whether you’re here for 5 days or 50, there’s something new to find every day.
A quiet and beautiful space
If the only adventure you’re looking for are in the pages of a good book, then the VMT Lodge might be the off grid retreat you’re looking for. We’ve got a large wood-fired sauna, an outdoor hot tub and plenty of beautiful seating nooks from which you can gaze wistfully into the mountains.
And if your whole group is looking for downtime, there’s a huge outdoor deck suitable for yoga, BBQs and sunset gatherings.
DIY or Go All-In
During the summer, the VMT Lodge can be booked as a self-guided and self-catered experience. Bring your own food, use our fully-stocked kitchen and head out on adventures of your own design. Our Custodian will be on site at all times, to ensure that everything is running smoothly and that you have all you need for an enjoyable vacation.
Alternatively, if you’re looking for a zero-stress experience, add a chef or a mountain guide to your trip and we’ll do all the planning for you. You just need to show up and chill out.
