Wilderness and meals projects while exploring Nimpo Lake, Canada

Details

• 

  Description

  This is a remote wilderness lodge located on the shore of a high alpine lake in the heart of British Columbia’s Coastal Mountains. Surrounded by rugged peaks, wildflower meadows, and glacier-fed lakes, the lodge is only accessible by floatplane, making it one of the most secluded hiking destinations in Canada.
  
  Founded by mountain lovers and operated with a deep respect for nature, our place offers guests an immersive backcountry experience — complete with handcrafted log cabins, incredible hiking opportunities, and a chance to truly unplug. There are no roads, no cell service, and no distractions — just pure wilderness.
  
  Guests come for guided or self-guided hiking, canoeing, and wildlife viewing. We grow much of our own food in a small alpine garden, live off-grid with solar power, and are committed to low-impact living.
  
  It’s a place where people come to reconnect with nature, and where every day is shaped by the rhythm of the mountains.

  In your time off, explore endless hiking trails, paddle across glacier-fed lakes, or simply enjoy the peace and quiet of the mountains. It’s a rare and rewarding experience for any chef who loves nature as much as good food.
