Burnie Glacier Chalet

As we are entering summer, the worst of the pandemic seems to be behind us. We could see our American and European friends again, and we stayed healthy. This is very wonderful! We are still alert for Covid, but also all the other diseases that can spread quickly in confined places like a backcountry lodge. So we continue to encourage everyone to wash their hands frequently, and we keep our kitchen and eating areas clean.

But we have big plans for the lodge, too. This summer, we will renovate the lodge, which is now 20 years old. The dining area will be bigger. It will seat everybody without cramping. The kitchen will also get bigger and upgraded. There will be an addition behind the kitchen. This will house two more guests and, in the basement, a guide and the guides’ office. This will allow us to host ten guests, with only two guests per room, and to have a more spacious common area. There might even be a couch somewhere although I’m afraid that that would weaken our guests’ moral fibre.

I’m looking forward to seeing you again.
