The heart of the mountains has always been reserved for those whose spirit aspires for experiences as distinguished as the mountains themselves. The Cabins at Kicking Horse emanate this spirit, and the essence of adventure and discovery is embodied in these one-of-a-kind structures.

It has long been a timeless trait of explorers, surveyors and guides that upon reaching those choice destinations meriting further exploration, they would establish a base; a haven of comfort; a place to treasure, a home. The Cabins at Kicking Horse Mountain Resort keep this tradition alive today.

History records this place as a spot discovered by those aspiring for treasure and discovery. High in the midst of the rugged mountain forests, the lodges and cabins erected by the early pioneers provided the solitude, sanctuary, and solace from the elements. They were a place to escape, but just as importantly, these enduring alpine establishments signified a place where true homes were forged and great adventures began.

The Cabins at Kicking Horse have been carefully situated, each nestled in its own setting within the monumental woods at Kicking Horse Mountain Resort. Like their forebears, each Cabin remains a starting point from which to navigate, and a point of reference for direction home.

The original guides and adventurers in the area spent countless days above the treeline, at times reaching places where the earth would meet the sky. Yet, they chose to establish their homes – their basecamps for activity – amongst magnificent trees. They understood the quality possessed only by mountain forests – the sense of eternity and solitude, a sense of shelter and belonging, a sense of mystery and the beginnings of adventure.
