Day 2 Afternoon
Swap your boots for wings and find yourself at 4000 ft above sea level in moments. The exhilarating Sip to Sky heli experience takes you to the top of Ursus Peak where a luxury picnic with all the trimmings awaits (additional charge applies).

A celebration every evening, the dinner menu features the very best of the region’s produce. Later, gather round for s’mores and stories by the fire, reflecting on the milestones of the day under a glittering canopy of stars.
Day 3 Early Morning
Early risers can opt for a gentle sunrise yoga session while those seeking an adrenalin-fix can head into the forest on a trail run or take a mountain bike for a morning cycle.
Day 3 Morning
The high-intensity canyoning expedition begins with an e-bike followed by a paddle upstream as the glacial-fed Bedwell River courses through the valley. With your adrenalin pumping, rockhop over boulders to leap into the whitewater. Epic!
