Canada
Alberta is famous for its vastness – but the best of it lies just beneath the surface: white buffalo at Métis Crossing, a forest starting over after the fire, a mountain that has forgotten nothing in 7,000 years. Westward, in British Columbia, the way leads up – by helicopter onto ridges and glaciers.
Alberta is famous for its vast expanses. But there is much more to captivate visitors: the wisdom of the Indigenous Métis people, rare bison, spiritual lakes, huge glaciers – and a cave from which you would be unable to escape without a rope.
Tucked away in the eastern part of Canada’s Cariboo Mountains lies a lodge renowned amongst heli-skiers worldwide: the CMH Cariboo Lodge. In summer, guests can take a helicopter from here to ridges, glaciers and a world-class via ferrata that winds its way through a waterfall.
