This multi-day hiking event is posted on the FSH calendar and is open for registration.

In order to register, please do so on the FSH website. Also, please contact Alison Dakin (see below for contact information). She will direct you to an online form that must be completed prior to payment of the deposit.

The deposit amount is $1,300 - and will be required by October 30, 2026 in order to secure your reservation. This amount does not include GST, which will be added on to the final payment.

See below for “Payment Methods”.

If the minimum number of guests (12) is not met, your deposit will be repaid in full.

The remaining amount will be due sometime in April or May 2027. You will receive a reminder.

Note: Once booked, all fees are non-refundable unless your spot is filled by another person. Refunds for cancelled trips can be collected only if you purchase cancellation insurance from a reputable insurance agent.

It is advised that you purchase cancellation insurance when you book your trip and pay your deposit. The Chalet reserves the right to cancel trips due to insufficient bookings. Refunds are guaranteed in these circumstances.

Be aware: Your provincial medical insurance may not cover helicopter evacuations. Search and Rescue will cover some “in the field mountain accidents”, but not general illness or injuries. Some private insurance policies cover emergency rescue costs. However, it is very important to confirm prior to your trip that your private insurance covers rescues and includes those arising from hiking activities.

Hiking Terrain
There is a variety of hikes with differing elevation gains and losses, as well as distances. Some will be moderate and others difficult.
Because there will be two guides, there will sometimes be a split in the group at some point, where some hikers may wish a shorter, more moderate hiking day, and others a fuller and more strenuous day.
Also, it can be arranged to have different destinations right from the Chalet if the group wishes to do that and has distinctively different pacing needs.
Hikes can range from 5.5 to 16 km, all providing great places to go.
Elevation gains and losses range from approximately 480 m to 750 m. (There are also options for less vertical gain.)
