by: Justin Gural

Maybe it’s a result of the recent heat wave, or maybe it’s because they just celebrated their independence. Regardless, we’ve been showcasing a lot Canadian adventures recently. Here’s another worth a look, with a luxury twist. Canadian Mountain Holidays (CMH) has effectively pieced together a 7-day, 6-night trip that includes helicopter access to remote high-mountain terrain, certified IFMGA and ACMG mountain guides for daily treks into the spectacular Bobbie Burns and Bugaboo ranges, and gourmet cuisine at two of their luxurious lodges for the well-defined après. Flying in and out of Calgary Int’l Airport (YYC), you’ll feel like a pampered rock-star as you’re transported via heli from lodge-to-lodge and hike-to-hike. 18-20 flights to be exact, which is a drop in the bucket for CMH. They have evolved into the world's largest heli-skiing and heli-hiking company, boasting more than 7,000 guests annually.
