Island Lake Lodge
Island Lake Lodge has been called one of the most unique and authentic places to stay in Canada.
From a unique culinary program, to cat-skiing, biking, hiking, full spa and dedicated staff, Island Lake is a gem of the Canadian Rockies. Island Lake Lodge in Fernie, BC is the ultimate backcountry catskiing and snowboarding experience. In summer, the lodge offers hotel accommodation, hiking, dining, spa, mountain biking, fly fishing and a spectacular setting for weddings.

Just a reminder that our lower parking lot will remain open for the next couple of weeks for anyone looking to enjoy the hiking and biking trails this fall. 🍂
The road up to the lodges is closed and gated. Although things may seem quiet, staff and contractors are continuously traveling the road until the snow flies.
Please use the lower parking lot and enjoy the trails safely!

Some special images from last winter.
Island Lake has a deep-rooted snowboard history, and it was pretty special to have Hana, Forrest, and Justin out there capturing some of the historic snowboard lines that have helped shape the story of this place.

That’s a wrap on another amazing summer! ☀️
The gate to Island Lake Lodge is now closed as we get ready for winter operations. ❄️
The gate to the lower parking lot will remain open, so you can still park and enjoy the lower trails.
Thanks for another incredible summer!

Is it just us, or can you hear the distant sound of a cat engine purring to life? 👀
