The Facility & Amenities

Mistaya Lodge is a solid, spacious, two-story, post and beam structure located beside an emerald green alpine lake at 6,700 feet elevation. The 2000 sq. ft. lodge is a bright, comfortable building which embodies the strength and charm of its backcountry location. Our luxurious amenities bring comfort to your backcountry adventure:

• Indoor washrooms supplied with hot and cold running water
• Excellent food – all meals and baking, prepared fresh daily.
• A clean, wood-fired sauna house, with a change room and hot shower for bathing
• Two outhouses that are clean, bright, and have an excellent view
• Heated drying room and boot dryer
• Private and shared accommodations available

On the main floor the dining and living areas are lined with abundant picture windows that invite armchair reconnaissance of the surrounding peaks and glaciers. In our large modern kitchen, equipped with propane stove, convection oven, refrigerator and freezer, our cooks prepare hearty backcountry meals of unsurpassed excellence. In the summer months, our organic greenhouse provides lettuce and herbs for you to enjoy with your meals. We are served family-style around the large dining table. No one ever complains of being hungry!

Upstairs, seven spacious guest bedrooms accommodate up to fourteen people, with a selection of single, double and bunk beds complete with towels, linen, pillows and fluffy duvets. Our small group size means that 14 people is a full house.

Caring For The Environment

Mistaya is footprint free! Our combined solar and micro-hydro system provides enough power to the lodge for the comforts of home without causing any damage to our environment. In the lodge we recycle, reuse and compost (we even have composting toilets!). Our certified guides help our small groups tread lightly through our terrain, making sure everyone in the future can see the same spectacular scenery.

Children

In the main lodge, parents must accompany young adults between the ages of 14 and 19, and accept in writing full responsibility for them during the trip. Younger children are welcome with an exclusive full-lodge booking.  Gathering a group of friends or families together for a private lodge reservation it so much fun!
