Picture snowmobiling into the forest to the remote Callaghan Lodge! This is the ultimate holiday gift for you to share with someone who deserves an extra special weekend away.

Snowmobile riding in from Whistler, you arrive to a steaming cup of warm hot chocolate and nibbles, then spend the afternoon cross-country skiing, skating, or snow shoeing. You could also choose to relax and curl up by the fire, awaiting the champagne reception and a five course feast and scotch tasting in the evening.

After dinner, head outside and warm yourself by the bonfire on the shores of the frozen alpine lake while sipping on another fabulous whisky. Retire to a private room, slip into dreamland and awaken to freshly brewed coffee and a full breakfast to fuel you up for the snowmobile ride back to Whistler.
