Spring Skiing can be exhausting if it hasn't snowed for a while and some of the descents are icy. However, once you made it to Skoki you are welcome by an incredibly friendly team and amazing food. And don't even think that you will do something for your fitness and loose weight (sorry!): Yes, it takes an effort and you... More

Just spent part of our Feb honeymoon here and can't wait to go back (both of us). The food, the service, the heat in the cabins, the trek in/out, scenery, etc... is to die for. Well worth the $$$. Would recommend 2+ days. A truly special place...

If you're looking for a wonderful adventure in one of the most scenic parts of the Banff wilderness but with just a little pampering at the same time, this is the trip for you. My wife and I spent 3days/2nights in early September of 2011 and it's hard to imagine having a more delightful three days anywhere. It must be... More

If you only have two nights and three days to spend in the mountains in Canada, then go here and skip everything else (even though there are lots of other wonderful places to stay and things to see or do in Banff, Lake Louise etc.). Our family of five recently stayed and loved it. The hike in - excellent. The... More

I always joke around about making a fishing resume, with Skoki being an experience I would highly recommend. The 11 km hike was tough but doable on my pudgey frame, with Decption Pass offering some fine vistas to take in. The lodge itself was rustic in a very good way. The service was oustanding, and the food was very good.... More

Hi Donald, Thank you for taking the time to review Skoki Lodge. Skoki offers a great base for fishing some of the more remote fishing locations. You can bring your rod and think about fishing while the staff take care of everything else. The staff pride themselves on hospitality and the quality of food, so they will be pleased to... More

11 km of spectacular hiking over two mountain passes (very doable) and past turquoise lakes brings you to Skoki Lodge. The lodge is comfy and cozy with books to read on the day beds in the window or by the fireplace. Snacks and drinks are waiting upon arrival. Food ( 2 course breakfast, pack your own lunch buffet and 2... More

Few people get to see the Canadian Rockies the way you do when you ski into Skoki Lodge. The trek in is stunning. Challenging, but doable. I was caught in a brief white-out on Deception Pass on the way out and retreated back toward the Lodge until visibility improved. If Mother Nature unleashes her wrath while you are in the... More

I stayed one night at Skoki on March 20th. It is one of the nicest places I have ever stayed, mind you it is a bit rustic so if you need running water and electricity it may not be for you. If you can rough it a little it is totally worth your time. The hosts Leo and Katie were... More

If you want to see the real Canadian wilderness, put on your back country skis and go to Skoki Lodge. You will see spectacular scenery and get a great workout skiing over Deception Pass. The downhill to the lodge is quite enjoyable. The lodge offers relatively comfortable lodging, but it does not have electricity or running water. I found it... More

The skiing was great and the trail up is well marked. The staff were great at suggesting areas to ski in and had maps that were helpful. We... More
