The Callaghan ·

20cm of fresh snow here at The Callaghan!

We are open until the 16th for Nordic snow-sports!

The team have been working hard to clear the parking lot and groom the trails! There’s still time to book your stay for a backcountry adventure at Journeyman Lodge too!

Check out the link in our bio for what’s on offer over the next week!

Remember we are still closed on Wednesday and Thursday.

Winter fun isn’t over yet!!🎉

We’ve collaborated with .ca to bring you this exciting limited event. For two weekends, we’ve got bookings available for a ski-in ski-out sauna session.

Based at our Nordic centre, with beautiful mountain views, you’ll be able to enjoy some skiing, touring, or snowshoeing before hopping straight into the sauna to relax.

Booking is $26pp including tax for a 1 hour slot and the sauna fits 8 people. Both social and private sauna bookings can be made by visiting .ca website.

Bring your crocs, grab a towel, come with friends and enjoy one hell of a unique experience!

Don’t let the weather fool you, there’s still plenty of snow to play with at The Callaghan!

With a current snow base of over 200cm, The Callaghan backcountry is always tempting. And there’s still available on our snowcat shuttle to make it even quicker to access by dropping you at Callaghan Lake! Head to our website to book your winter adventure finale❄️

Our Nordic trails are all still looking great too, with all of our trails open and skiable. Daily grooming and preserving from our snowcat drivers means our trails aren’t going anywhere anytime soon! ⛷️

Get ready for St Patrick’s Day with a shamrock hunt at The Callaghan ☘️

On the 17th March, join us for a family-friendly event where you’ll find hidden shamrocks down our snowshoe trails and around our base. Every shamrock found wins you a prize!

Once you’re done exploring, you can enjoy a campfire with some marshmallows and a hot chocolate to top off the day.

This is a free event with the purchase of a trail ticket and all ages are welcome!
