NEW! Purcell Lodge Conference Room NEW!

Our new boardroom serves to further protect the privacy we are already known for, and also offers you additional flexibility for your plenary and breakout sessions. This private and very cozy facility boasts a gorgeous handmade board table, reclining leather chairs, projection screen, standard audio-visual equipment, plus some stunning mountain views. To support your company goals we would also like to help you incorporate important and socially interactive recreational "windows" into your meeting itinerary. A group hike, snowshoe or ski, free from interaction with other members of the public, will go miles towards establishing a strong interpersonal bond between the key members of your management or sales team. Nowhere is this more true than in the wilderness surrounding Purcell Lodge! We host groups of up to thirty in an uncommonly intimate manner. Take advantage of the 24-hour group immersion that we offer for your next corporate retreat! Live, eat, meet, and play together! It will make your company stronger. Off -season : (April through June, and October through December) corporate retreats requiring exclusive use of Purcell Lodge, will receive complimentary use of the new conference facilities. Groups not paying for exclusive use of the lodge, or those booking during other times of the year, are assessed a modest $500 per night surcharge for full access to the conference room and all associated support services.

 

 

There are no roads penetrating the wilderness surrounding Purcell Lodge, and access is by our scheduled helicopter shuttle from the mountain town of Golden, British Columbia. The cost for this 10 to 15 minute helicopter flight is included with your accommodation package.


Purcell Lodge itself, is situated on an extensive alpine plateau (the largest in southern British Columbia) called Bald Mountain, and has a commanding presence just above timberline, at an elevation of 7200 feet. Copperstain Mountain is just across the Spillimacheen River to the north east of the lodge, and the ramparts of the Selkirk Mountains, including Mount Sir Donald are directly west of the lodge across the Beaver River Valley.

This combination of gentle alpine meadows, moderate sub-alpine slopes, and challenging yet accessible mountain peaks and ridges, is simply not found anywhere else in western Canada
