DESCRIPTION  
Choose Aurum Lodge as your base to explore the Canadian Rockies inside or outside of the National Parks. Close to the Mountain Parks and the centre of the Icefield Parkway, this is an ALL SEASON destination and our fall and winters are the best time to enjoy the wilderness and tranquillity of the area, while spring is the best time for wildlife viewing.
Besides the many area attractions and nature based activities, Aurum Lodge is ideal for guests who want to get away from it all and simply relax or read a book.
We also cater to small special interest groups up to 12 people (hiking, wellness, natural history, arts, photography, etc.)and can offer exclusive use of our facility and attractive group rates.
Aurum Lodge was presented with the Alberta Tourism Award for Sustainable Tourism in 2001 for our efforts in minimising environmental impact of our operation.
