Bighorn Revelstoke: Multiple World's Best Ski Chalet
Unique comfort indoors, wild mountain experiences right on the doorstep: Bighorn Revelstoke combines the best of a luxury resort and heliski lodge. This has already earned the vacation home in Canada's freeride hotspot Revelstoke in British Columbia several awards.
One should be careful with superlatives. However, when an accommodation has been voted "World's Best Ski Chalet" several times at the World Ski Awards, it's fair to go into raptures. Bighorn Revelstoke is without question one of the absolute top addresses for winter sports enthusiasts and connoisseurs. Read more.
The imposing lodge with its rustic wooden façade is located right at the foot of the Revelstoke Mountain Resort. For its guests, however, the ski mountain with North America's greatest altitude difference between summit and base is more of a bad weather alternative.
In the heart of one of the greatest heliskiing regions in the world, the focus for most skiers and snowboarders is clearly on freeride trips with the "flying lifts". From the lodge's ski cellar, you go directly to the helipad at the lodge. Helicopters from several providers can land there and fly winter sports enthusiasts into the deep powder of the Selkirk and Monashee Mountains. Ask about the individual options from TRAVELZONE. Open bowls, wide glaciers, steep slopes and excellent tree skiing - the choice is almost limitless.
Gourmet cuisine and top service
The same applies to the options in the Bighorn Chalet to round off a great day's skiing in style. Popular meeting places include the pool table, the bar or the open fireplace in the cozy living room with its high ceiling. Gourmet dinners can be enjoyed in the spacious dining room or more casually in the kitchen, where you can look over the shoulder of an award-winning chef. In addition, attentive but completely unobtrusive service contributes to the 5-star experience at the lodge.

Our summary of the Bighorn Lodge
Magnificent powder, countless runs and playful terrain with pillow lines and cliffs make Selkirk Tangiers Heli Skiing one of the top addresses for heli skiing in Canada. The area borders the Glacier National Park, among others. This provides access to fantastic glacier runs against a fantastic mountain backdrop. High alpine descents and tree skiing with open glades are equally outstanding. And thanks to its proximity to Revelstoke Mountain Resort, you can ski in excellent terrain even when the helicopters have to stay on the ground. Our conclusion: Classic programs from Selkirk Tangiers offer very good, small group and private packages offer almost unbeatable heliskiing.
