Groups Information

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 and the Manager Tony are the warmest, kindest, and comforting things about being on the Bow Valley Parkway!

My friends and I stay here as much as we can when we just need a cheap, and beautiful weekend away from the busy-ness of the City!!

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.
