Raven Lodge
Cross Country
Glide across groomed trails that wind through the winter landscape of Mount Washington and Strathcona Provincial Park — terrain for every level, from first-timers to seasoned skate skiers.
Rent cross-country skis, poles and boots at Raven Lodge, and book a lesson or program with our certified instructors to get started. A large lounge lets you warm up and recharge between laps.
Snowshoe
The quiet serenity of Strathcona’s old-growth forests will do more for your well-being than a day at the spa. Snowshoeing at Mt. Washington transports you to a magical wonderland featuring 22 km of meandering trails with unexpected views.
Trail passes, rentals and maps are available at Raven Lodge. Enjoy live music après on weekends and holidays, plus the special Snowshoe Fondue events.
Fat Bike
Fat Bikes are now available at the Nordic Centre located at Raven Lodge. Enjoy parts of our Nordic trail system on a fat-tire mountain bike — approximately 15 km of beautiful, scenic cross-country trails for two-wheel exploration. Conditions permitting.
