Winter Gourmet Getaways

Join us for wilderness hikes or snowshoe outings in Alberta's Rocky Mountains. 
We'll follow-up a great day of fresh-air, physical activity and scenery with a stay in Canmore or Lake Louise, fun mountain towns where you can relax, grab a drink at a local cafe or pub, or perhaps indulge in a massage! We'll choose a restaurant for the evening meal and you can let us know if you'd like to join us. Choose your own accommodation; B&B, Inn's or a hotel, there are  many wonderful spots to kick off your hiking boots and relax.* These multi-day hike & snowshoe getaways are a wonderful mix of organized, guided outings  and flexible evenings in a fun town where you can create your own perfect getaway. 

*Let us know if you'd like a roommate or accommodation suggestion, and we'll do our best to help.

 Lake Louise/ Baker Creek
Gourmet Snowshoe Weekend
Cost: $270 ($250 cask/ck)

Snowshoeing is as easy as walking but much more fun. You burn off the winter blahs as you follow a well-laid trail or break your own in the endless powder-fresh snow. Snowshoeing is an activity that is accessible to everyone. It takes no technical ability and with Fit Frog you can pace for pleasure as you pounce through powder or relax and enjoy as you follow the beaten track.  For those who love to cross-country ski, bring your skis and try the track set trails in the park. You can join the group or find your own adventure. A Fit Frog Coordinator will help you choose your adventure. 

Accommodation is suggested (see below), but not provided. Lake Louise also has many hotels to choose from. At the end of the day you may choose to join the group at the restaurant of choice or perhaps you'll choose your own. 

We carpool from Calgary at 8 am on Friday and return on Sunday at around 5 pm.




We will stay at Baker Creek Chalets. You'll enjoy LOW SEASON rates in November!
