Spent 8 days with CMH this summer- 2013. Stayed at both Bobbie Burns and Bugaboos. The high flying adventures and the stay at Bobbie Burns was a blast and well worth the money. The staff was warm and welcoming and the lodge had a nice at home feel thanks to the GM Bruce and his staff. They also had the... more
The Canadian Rockies in early winter are very beautiful. The scenery is second to none. Take note of local weather conditions, stay on main routes and only drive within your abilities and you will have a great trip.
Canadian Mountain Holiday Heli/Hiking should be on everyone's bucket list. It is the most amazing experience to be helicoptered into the Canadian Rockies and see the breath taking scenery. The lodge is first rate and the meals are fabulous. The guides at the lodge are so knowledgeable. I felt like I had a walking encyclopedia along with me during all... more
We are currently right in the middle of our 3 day high flying adventure at Bobbie Burns Lodge...
This place has far exceeded our expectations. The via feratta was awesome today, the food is great, the staff are really attentive and make you feel at home. Finish the day with a sauna followed by a dash to the pond for...

We stayed at Bugaboo Lodge and our experience couldn't be any more different than Vick M's. It was a fantastic vacation in all respects!
ROOMS: Not fancy, but spacious, bright, thoughtfully arranged. Beds were very comfortable. Lots of hot water, not always true of remote or more rustic locations where I've been. Lots of places to store your stuff. All...

My family and I have done the Canadian Mountain holiday heli hiking experience for the second time in five years and every time it gets better. The lodge is roomy, comfortable and has all the amenities of a high class resort. Sauna, jacuzzi, massages to name a few. But the real reason is the hiking in the mountains of Canada.... more
Even at the end of the season the skiing was amazing and the guides always managed to find the magic pitches, I couldn't have asked for a better ski experience
The food is amazing. Stayed at the Bugaboo lodge and what a joke. Half the crowd will go to sit in a chair. The lodge manager was a pompous jerk (Dave), surprised his body supports his ego. All of the hikes and the terrain from the bugaboos lodge can be accessed via hiking from the logging road. I was almost... more
We stayed at the bugaboo lodge on our honeymoon in August 2002 and it was amazing. We had a fantastic time at the heli hikking experience. The room, the food and the guides were perfect and we hope to comeback soon. The canadian mountain holiday provide us with a unforgetable experience! Thanks!
Just been on our fourth trip Heli skiing with CMH. This really is the best skiing in the world. They have a number of lodges throughout the area and most of them are remote high up in the mountains. Lodges are not really a good description because they are very luxurious. The food is fantastic and the guiding and service... more
We spent 3 days of our honeymoon helihiking at CMH Bugaboos this August. The hiking was simply amazing with a continually changing view that was never anything other than breathtaking all day long. With 4 or 5 guided groups each day it was easy for all to find their level and get the most out of the experience. We were... more
It was fascinating: heli-hiking in early August. Glad I did the 6 days; 3 would have ended too soon. 6 days and two lodges. Well described by others below. The smaller lodge, Bobbie Burns, had friendlier feeling, because smaller, because staff younger, because CMH CEO was visiting. But both places exceptional. Similarity of background and intent means all guests congenial.... more
We just returned from the best vacation experience ever! We do a lot of traveling but this was the best experience ever! From the booking process ( flawless ), accommodation (this was my idea of roughing it-soft bed,hot shower and private rooms!), food (5 star Boston restaurants are not as good as the food here!) , the people(outstanding) and the... more
cmh vactions was mindblowing exhileration and the level of pampering was beyond the number of stars you could assign. You are treated like royalty-all inclusive trip is all that and so much more. I am going to start planning for my next trip back.
I spent a week at the Bugaboos Lodge in March with my good friend, and I will never forget the amazing people I met, the outstanding service I received, and the absolutely fantastic skiing we all got to enjoy.
You start your trip by boarding a helicopter (soon you will be used to this, as you will do this many...

CMH provides wonderful multi-day guided hiking deep in the mountains of B.C. Hikes are tailored to different abilities, guides are very knowledgeable, lodge is immaculate and very comfortable, food is fantastic, other guests are interesting and fun companions. The trip of a lifetime.
If you like dramatic scenery and love to hike then this is a wonderful adventure vacation. The Heli part means simply that every day you get transported to the tops of the surrounding mountain ranges and hike from there. The only people you will see are other CMH hikers which is good - however it can also be a bit... more
A unique Place, a great atmosphere of camraderie, and the hiking and sights are incredible! You simply CANNOT take a bad picture ou here! The guides are incredibly knowledable, a combo phd and athlete in one. I learned more while having more fun than I ever could have alone, or even in a group of fellow hikers. Overall an awesome... more
My buddy and I decided to take the CMH trip at the last second after doing a bit of research online (highly recommend reading 2the NY Times article from 2007 called 'Five-Star Wilderness'). Stayed 3 nights at the Bobbie Burns lodge and signed up for the 'High-Flying Adventure'. Honestly, one of my favorite vacations ever.
First, this is truly a...

First class operation in every detail. Service, friendliness, food, lodging and of course the plentiful helicopter rides to picturesque locations. We stayed at the Bobby burns lodge. It is expensive but you will remember this trip for the rest of your life. Do the via Ferrata, it's not quite as scary as it sounds. highly recommended, we are very likely... more
Canadian Mountain Holidays was top-notch. We stayed at the Bugaboo's lodge and had a spectacular time heli-hiking in the mountains. The guides were fun and informative, the chef was outstanding and the rest of the staff was fun and a real pleasure to meet. The trip was one of the highlights in my 39 years of life. Planning a trip... more
Helihiking lodge. Great location, spectacular vistas. Nice lodge with very accommodating lodge staff. Structure of hiking groups catered to two large family groups. I wanted to climb the Via Ferrata & have prior rock climbing experience. My guide told me I would be included, but I was excluded, without explanation. All from the larger groups who wanted to climb were... more
Heli-hiking allowed us to hike at the top of the mountains. The scenery was dramatic and included the Bugaboo spires, mountains, glaciers, ice caves, glacial lakes, streams and wildflowers. It was very peaceful. The only other people we saw were the other CMH groups. We did not see much wildlife though there was evidence of wildlife. The staff and guides... more
simply put, extraordinary trip.
these guys are total pros, amazing pre-trip customer service and planning.
then you get there, and WOW!
we stayed at the Bugaboos Lodge for summer heli-hiking. there other summer lodge is called bobby burns, and by most reports, Bugaboos is a bit nicer (Bigger rooms, better mountain view) but the Bobby Burns also has their 'via...

This 'flatlander" from Florida was breathless in the Bugaboos-- the heights, the flights, the awesome sights -- the beauty of the mountains and wildflowers, the challenge of the hikes, splashing in an icy mountain lake, the camaraderie, the spa treatments.....
Every detail was attended to by experienced, knowledgeable and personable guides and lodge staff. The food was wonderful and all...

Just came back home from a 3 day heli-hiking/mountaineering trip with CMH. This was my first summer experience with CMH and I have to say that it blew my mind away!
Two out of the three days I spent hiking with very professional guides that exceeded my expectations. The wild flowers were in bloom so the colors were just amazing,...

Heli Yoga!
This was a extraordinary combination of hiking in pristine mountain wilderness coupled with yoga and meditation. If you like to hike and do yoga, this is for you. The mornings start with a 30 min. yoga session to get warmed up for the day ahead, walking and seated meditations while out on the mountain, and then another longer...

Just returned from a 3 night heli-hiking trip at CMH's Bugaboo Lodge - truly a memorable experience! Lodge is basic, clean and comfortable, staff is exceptional (I think they have a 2 to 1 guest to staff ratio!) and the food is outrageous! Good thing you're out hiking everyday day to make room for the next amazing meal... All lodge... more
If you want to experience one of the most fantastic mountain vacations of your life you must book a Heli-hiking trip with CMH. My family has had the blessings of going twice (Bugaboo and Bobby Burns). The price might be a sticker shock to some but if you take the plunge you will NEVER regret it. The staff is inviting,... more
