Northern Escape raises the bar for wilderness getaways with its new luxury, off-the-grid Mountain Lodge opening July 1, 2022. The $4.2M Lodge is equipped with 10 double occupancy guest rooms, high-speed WiFi, an outdoor hot tub, a team of Red Seal Chefs and other perks that create an unforgettable mountain stay. With its contemporary ambience and premium wine list, the Lodge offers an all-inclusive, five-star experience. “We aim to give our guests the best of both worlds, a rugged mountain experience and an ultimate luxury vacation,” explains Northern Escape Co-founder & General Manager, John Forrest.
Nestled deep in the Skeena Mountains, near the Alaskan Panhandle, the Mountain Lodge is a unique base for exploring the natural wonders of Northern BC. With easy access to both mountains and the sea, guests can enjoy a variety of once-in-a-lifetime summer adventures. World-class fly fishing and heli-fishing, a guided trip to the Khutzeymateen Grizzly Bear Sanctuary, in the Great Bear Rainforest, or whale watching for orcas and humpbacks are all possible. For those who like to spend time in nature, guests can hit the trails on an e-mountain bike or spend a day paddling the secluded lakes near the Lodge.
Northern Escape is a certified carbon-neutral operation dedicated to lessening its environmental impact. The operator has partnered with Synergy Enterprises and Offsetters to benefit The Great Bear Forest. In addition, Northern Escape’s three-year sustainability plan includes the installation of solar panels, further reduction of single-use plastics and replacing its vehicles with electric versions.
“Over the 35 years of my career as an ACMG Guide, I have witnessed incremental changes in our climate, our snowpack and our glaciers,” says Forrest. “The first of many steps to help mitigate climate change is to become carbon neutral. We want to become a part of the solution rather than a part of the problem.”
Northern Escape is located in Skeena Mountains near Terrace, BC, a short 90-minute flight from Vancouver. The boutique operator offers a variety of custom packages for small groups of adventure seekers from all over the world.
