Group Bookings
Half way between Banff and Lake Louise, HI Castle Mountain hostel provides a unique setting for groups of up to 28 seeking a rustic wilderness experience with the added perks of sleeping indoors and waking up to hot showers. Make use of the hostel's fully equipped self-catering kitchen and cozy fireplace lounge.
I rented the entire hostel last winter for a girls' trip with 28 ladies and we had a fabulous weekend skiing, eating, and hanging out in the comfortable hostel.
For a one-week period, we lived and worked together at Castle Mountain Hostel. We prepared food and ate as a community; we slept in bunk bed dorms, sang around the fire, and together built a portable outdoor city of tent laboratories.
This hostel isn't like the other wilderness hostels for it offers hot showers, real indoor toilets, and of course warmth. This made it so much easier with winter gear and windchills dipping down near -30ºC.
