Welcome to our Island in the Sky
For over 30 years, Purcell Mountain Lodge has been dedicated to providing guests with a unique backcountry experience. We welcome you with a scenic 15-minute helicopter ride through the mountains, straight to the doorstep of our island in the sky, where our friendly and dedicated staff will be ready to greet you.
Backcountry Lodging
Kick back and relax in our rustic but luxurious lodge, or visit your home away from home in the mountains with our private chalet.
Summer in the Purcells
Spend time exploring with our experienced ACMG certified backcountry guides. Experience the mountains through invigorating hikes, meandering through North America’s largest alpine meadows, hiking up above the treeline to the summit of Mount Copperstain, or even enjoying a frigid splash in a pristine snowmelt pond.


Winter in the Purcells
A wide selection of pristine runs and pillow-soft landings make skiing around the lodge a truly special experience for all skill levels. Our experienced ski guides will make sure that everyone has a premier ski experience, while keeping safety as the first priority.
Purcell Mountain Lodge is grateful to operate and welcome guests on the traditional territory of the Ktunaxa and Secwepemc peoples that is also home to the Metis Nation.
