Getting There

Getting to Emerald Lake Lodge:

We recommend flying into Calgary International Airport (YYC). From YYC, it is a ~2.5h drive (can be longer depending on weather) west on the Trans-Canada Highway (Hwy 1), which is always plowed. Only the last few km of the drive are on a paved but winding mountain road, which can get snowy.

Driving:

Once you arrive at Emerald Lake Lodge, please park in the overnight guest parking lot and take the lodge shuttle to the island (~5 mins). If you are driving and are able to offer a ride to others, please let us know in the RSVP form.

Shuttles:

We will be organizing shuttles at approximately the following times:

  • Saturday Feb 14 - YYC to Emerald Lake Lodge: Depart from YYC ~10am and ~12pm
  • Monday Feb 16 - Emerald Lake Lodge to YYC: Depart venue ~9am and ~12pm

On Saturday, the airport shuttle will drop you off in the overnight guest parking lot. From there, you will transfer to the lodge shuttle to get to the island (~5 mins). Vice versa on Monday.
