Wapta Traverse Winter Ski Traverse - Alpine Club of Canada
The Wapta Traverse should hold the number one spot at the top of everyone’s list of must-do experiences. This world-class winter ski-mountaineering destination is a spectacular journey across the Wapta and Waputik Icefields, providing you with fantastic views, amazing glacier runs, and the ultimate backcountry experience.
Starting the traverse at Peyto Lake, we’ll make our way across the two icefields, spending the evenings warming up, eating great food and sleeping in the comforts of the Alpine Club of Canada’s Peyto, Bow, Balfour and Scott Duncan Huts. Along the way many exciting ski ascents are immediately adjacent to the traverse to try your hand at ski mountaineering. Objectives could include Mounts Rhondda (North and South), St. Nicholas, Olive, Gordon, and Balfour. This camp can be whatever you want it to be - learn the basics of winter alpine travel, or come just for the skiing, the peak-bagging, and to improve your skills.
We run the Wapta traverse every year and it consistently fills up early. Register today to avoid the inevitable waitlist and ultimate disappointment!
