OUR HISTORY

Wells Gray Chalets were established in 1988. The hut system was built to get more people into the spectacular backcountry of Wells Gray Park, a park that sees very little use. A well-run hut system is considered to be the most environmentally friendly way to access the sensitive alpine regions. Our waste, water, and energy plan is well managed and we can continue to use the area around the hut with no appreciable impact. Your guides will help you to walk softly on the land, telling you which vegetation is most susceptible to a careless footstep, how to observe wildlife without disturbing it, and how to treat the sensitive water systems of the high alpine. Because our most important priority is the integrity of the land base, our facilities are comfortable, but not luxurious. There are no septic systems or running water. Still, we think you will find more than enough consideration for your comfort to make this holiday a very rewarding one.

Please come on our trips expecting to truly experience the place you are visiting. We do not rush through our trips to get to camp or hut. We try to savor the days spent out of doors and will have comfortable lunches and time for photos and flowers. Because of this, our groups are made up of all abilities and experience levels and we think the time you have here will be richer as a result.

We feel that spending time away from the distractions of the modern world is the only chance most of us get to truly relax and reflect on our lives. In the wilderness, the space that was occupied by phones, television, vehicles and computers is filled with the spiritual energy that wild places have to offer. It is our privilege to offer an experience after which we hope you return to your daily life in a happier and more effective frame of mind.
