About the BLBCA

The BLBCA is a member-directed association of privately owned lodges located in the major mountain ranges of British Columbia, Canada.

Due to their remoteness, access to lodges is mechanized in the winter (mostly by helicopter). In the summer, several lodges are accessible by hiking. Once at the lodge, all activities are non-mechanized, adhering to a commitment to leave as small a footprint as possible.

To enable association lodges to touch the lives of guests with awe-inspiring adventures throughout British Columbia’s inimitable backcountry.

Welcome to the BLBCA

We’re a community of privately owned lodges spread across British Columbia’s most spectacular mountain ranges — member-directed and built on decades of shared experience. Together, we support one another in safety, marketing, operations, and government regulations, all in pursuit of a common goal: sharing BC’s backcountry as one of the most rewarding adventure destinations on earth.

Responsible Tourism in the Backcountry

As leaders in sustainability initiatives, the Backcountry Lodges of British Columbia Association takes responsible tourism seriously so that you can enjoy unspoiled wilderness in the years to come – and stay safe on your adventures.
