2, 3 and 4-Day Short Escapes

Our short escapes are two, three or four day Heli-Hiking trips at the Bobbie Burns and Bugaboo Lodges in the Columbia Mountains of BC. These are our Signature Heli-Hiking vacations. These Short Escapes allow you to taste the wonders of Heli-Hiking in our mountain wilderness. The helicopter allows us to explore a variety of sights in a short time. We'll show you 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. These 2, 3 and 4 day adventures are suitable for all guests; Families, Couples, Friends, Solo Travellers, Mountaineers, Hikers, Trekkers, Walkers, Amblers and Private Groups. It is the perfect introduction to CMH. Let us warn you, however...this experience will leave you wanting more (so you may want to consider our 6 Day Lodge to Lodge trips!)!

These Short Escape heli-adventures begin with transportation from Banff, Alberta to the CMH helipad followed by an exhilarating flight into the lodge. One half day, followed by one, two or three full days of guided hiking, walking, via ferrata-ing, ziplining, photo-taking and/or trekking 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.
