WInter Activities at the Lodge

At the Northern Rockies Lodge, we welcome guests year-round. The snow and a bit of chilly weather don’t stop us from having fun at Muncho Lake! Whether you like to go ice skating on frozen Muncho Lake or take a bath in the cozy Liard Hot Springs to warm-up, there are lots of activities to ensure you a pleasant stay at the Northern Rockies Lodge.

Skating

With the arrival of the winter ice Muncho Lake transforms into a vast skating rink. Sometimes early in the winter season, prior to any major snowfall, the entire lake can remain clear and fully accessible for skating (depending on the thickness of the ice). Throughout the winter we do our best to clear a skating rink for those impromptu hockey games or leisurely afternoon skates. Skate rentals are available for hotel guests at the front desk.

Cross Country skiing & Snowshoeing

Later in the winter, after a nice thick coat of ice and snow forms, we transform Muncho lake into a 5 km classic cross country ski trail. Snowshoeing is also possible and they are available at the front desk for those looking to explore the area even further. Be sure to check in with our staff regarding track and snow conditions.

Northern lights

With a little luck and patience, the Northern lights can be seen from September until early April. Bask in the awe inspiring natural light show in the pristine beauty of the Muncho Lake valley. Be sure to grab a good thermos with your favorite hot beverage and a warm pair of mitts, rumor has it the lights try their best to impress on cold nights…
