Built in 1987, the Lodge sits on the edge of a mountain meadow valley which was part of the bid for the 1988 Calgary Winter Olympics. Peaks surround the lodge from every direction, and one peak is Engadine Mountain, where the lodge got its name.
An award-winning, year-round resort, the Lodge offers a rustic feel and the fine amenities associated with a true back-country resort. When the snow flies, Engadine Lodge becomes the perfect place to cross-country ski and explore the mountain meadows and trails. Fat bikes and snowshoes, which are free for overnight guests, are also a great way to get out and explore what the provincial park has to offer. All meals are included with your stay at Mount Engadine Lodge. A two-course breakfast awaits all overnight lodge guests, and the Lodge also provides a packed lunch to take on your cross-country ski or snowshoe adventures. You will want to make sure you get back in time for afternoon tea service featuring daily baked goodies, fresh fruit, local meats and refined cheeses, offered to help you refuel after a day of adventure. Dinner is a multi-course gourmet affair and a unique dining experience with local ingredients, seasonal vegetables and delicious desserts to top off the day. The rooms vary from cozy and comfortable options in the main lodge with views that overlook the meadow and mountains, to pet-friendly cabins with balconies for larger groups, and even five luxury glamping tents for year-round use with full ensuite bathrooms and private decks. You can also book a yurt for a truly unique experience. All rooms look down on the valley and offer spectacular views. Keep in mind that there are only 14 rooms overall, and things can book up fast. For those looking for even more cross-country ski adventures, the Lodge isn’t far from the Mount Shark Cross Country Ski’s 15km network of out-and-back groomed ski trails on rolling terrain with spectacular views.
