Wapta Icefield Traverse

A classic hut-to-hut ski traverse in the heart of the Canadian Rockies…

This multi-day hut-to-hut ski traverse follows the spine of the Wapta & Wapituk icefields in Banff & Yoho National Park just west of Lake Louise.

There is plenty of impressive ski touring terrain on this trip; vast glaciers, high alpine vistas and many ski-able summits. We will have the luxury of going to a comfortable new hut every night. While the traditional way of skiing this traverse is from Peyto hut to Sherbrooke lake (North to South) or to the Little Yoho Valley via the new Guy Hut. For optimal conditions, this tour is best done between February and April.
