You made it.

Rich history.
Commanding views.
Restful spaces.

To visit The Lodge is to temporarily suspend time. There are no schedules, obligations, or expectations. No emails, phone calls or notifications. There is only wide, vast, wondrous nature — the hush of snow-dusted mountains and the impossibly peaceful surface of Bow Lake. 

The home-base for your national park and Rocky Mountain adventures, The Lodge itself is a historical wonder. From the distinct red roof to newly updated interiors, its thoughtful touches and restful spaces wick away the stresses of everyday life.

The Lodge is open for Winter! Book your stay February 1st - April 8th, 2024.

Come inside The Lodge Dining Room to join us for a public lunch on weekends, Saturdays and Sundays, 12:00pm - 3:00pm during our Winter season for an après-ski beverage and hot meal after exploring the magical winter wonderland around Bow Lake. Meals are available while quantities last.

If you’d like to chat with our team about your booking, our phone lines and email are available Monday - Friday, 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. MST. You may make your booking online or connect with us.

During our winter season, The Lodge will also be open to the public for an après-ski lunch from 12:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. every Saturday and Sunday. Availability is on a first-come-first-served basis.

Nestled on the shore of breathtaking Bow Lake, the iconic red roof of The Lodge has punctuated Alberta’s world-class natural scenery since 1922.

Today, a group of new owners committed to the preservation of the property’s history and the surrounding environment have come together to refurbish the recognizable structure to its former glory, with attention to modern sustainability practises and deep respect for the history of the land itself.

Welcome to
our home.

With us for the afternoon?

Bow Lake is an extraordinary spot for a day visit. Take in the vast, natural beauty on one of the surrounding world-class hiking trails, discover local art in our gallery, and when your feet need a rest, stop in for a light snack, a coffee or a beer at our Café.
