Join us for an exciting cross-country ski trip to Cameron Lake Hut in Waterton Lakes National Park. Lace up your skis and get ready to explore the breathtaking winter landscape of the park.

Embark on this unforgettable adventure as we glide through the snowy trails, surrounded by stunning mountain views. The Cameron Lake Hut offers a cozy retreat where we can snowshoe around once we reach the hut, relax, unwind, and enjoy the beauty of nature.
