Winter Activities
Snowshoeing
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.
Your Basecamp
One of North America’s Top Nordic Centres
Mount Washington is rated as one of North America’s top Nordic Centres. Perched on the edge of spectacular Strathcona Provincial Park, the Nordic Centre features Raven Lodge — a quintessential timber-framed ski lodge with full dining, retail and rental options. Explore the wilds of Strathcona Park as you meander through snow-covered trees surrounded by rugged, ice-capped mountains.
Trail passes, rentals and maps are available at Raven Lodge. Read on for guided tours, trail passes, and our signature Raven Lodge Fondue experience.
