Short Escapes with CMH

Our short escapes are three day Heli-Hiking trips at the Bobbie Burns and Bugaboo Lodges in the Columbia Mountains of BC. Three days of Heli-Hiking allow you to taste the wonders of mountain wilderness. The helicopter allows us to explore a variety of sights in a short time. We'll show you ancient glaciers, alpine meadows, mountain ridge walks and lush forested valleys - on any other hiking or walking trip you'd see only one type of mountain terrain. Our 3 day adventures are suitable for all guests; Families, Couples, Friends, Solo Travellers, Mountaineers, Hikers, Trekkers, Walkers and Amblers and is the perfect introduction to CMH. Let us warn you, however...this experience will leave you wanting more!

A 3-day Heli-Adventure begins with transportation from Banff, Alberta to the CMH helipad followed by an exhilarating flight into the lodge. Two and a half days of guided hiking, walking and/or trekking follows with guests divided into groups based on ability and interest. Add in gourmet cuisine, luxury lodges and a relaxed, casual atmosphere and you have CMH Heli-Hiking in a nutshell.

These short escapes are perfect as stand-alone trips. Or, extend your trip with a more extensive Western Canadian vacation. See our Travel Services for suggestions and assistance with your plans.
