Canada's Secluded Romantic Mountain Getaway

Yesterday's travellers were adventurers in search of the extraordinary. They came by rail and horse-drawn coach to a summer retreat on the shores of exquisite Emerald Lake. Legendary guide Tom Wilson first discovered Emerald Lake in 1882 during the construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway.

The CPR built the original guest lodge in 1902. By the mid-1920s the lodge had been expanded and road improvements made it possible to reach the resort by car. Since then, the Canadian Government has permitted no additional development.

Now the area remains one of Canada's most outstanding year-round accessible wilderness settings. Following extensive renovations in 1986, Emerald Lake Lodge re-opened as an exclusive year-round vacation and business destination. The historic Lodge remains the heart of the resort, which is located in Yoho National Park, just 25 miles west of Lake Louise.

Built of hand-hewn timber and featuring massive stone fireplaces, the Lodge includes a formal dining room, quiet reading and sitting rooms, conference facilities and a games room. The lounge is enhanced by an oak bar salvaged from an 1890's Yukon saloon. From upper or lower large verandahs, the visions nature presents are as fresh and breath-taking as ever. As in the past, Emerald Lake proudly welcomes those in search of the extraordinary.

Location

Emerald Lake Lodge and Conference Centre is located approximately 200 km (125 miles) from Calgary, Alberta. To reach the lodge from Calgary, leave via 16th Avenue heading west. This route turns into the Trans Canada Highway #1 - which you follow directly to Field, British Columbia. Two km (1 mile) past the town of Field you will approach a turn-off clearly marked for Emerald Lake. The lodge is located 8 km (5 miles) down this road.
