Escape the city and your inbox at The Lodge at Bow Lake

No busy streets, no schedules, no checking your phone. The recently restored Lodge at Bow Lake is your mountain oasis.

Nestled in Banff National Park beside the crystal-clear waters of Bow Lake, The Lodge at Bow Lake (formerly Num-Ti-Jah Lodge) has been hosting curious mountain travellers since 1922. From the iconic red roof to the breathtaking views, The Lodge is a true historical Alberta wonder, now lovingly restored under new ownership and management.

Staying at The Lodge means disconnecting — literally, as there’s no Wi-Fi or cell service — and entirely trusting your experience to The Lodge’s hospitality and culinary teams. And, they are no ordinary teams. With decades of hospitality experience, and under the leadership of one of the best in the backcountry lodge industry Bruce Millar (formerly of Lake O’Hara Lodge) and his stellar management team of Nicola Davies and Mike Law, the lovely folks running The Lodge are sure to make your stay memorable.

Located along the Icefields Parkway, just 20 minutes from the Town of Lake Louise, The Lodge at Bow Lake is perfectly situated as your access point to some of the best hiking and glacial lakes in the Canadian Rockies. Plus, you’ll find your fair share of activities just out the back door of the cozy wooden structure of The Lodge. 

Your mountain retreat

Coming back to The Lodge after a day of mountain adventuring feels like coming home. With just 17 rooms, staff take the time to get to know you and address you by name from the moment they welcome you to this special mountain escape. They can recommend hikes for all levels and endless other outdoor activities to appeal to your personal preferences. The Lodge is truly your base for exploring the mountains in Banff National Park.

The Lodge offers all-inclusive pricing, which includes taxes and fees plus three incredible meals a day: a hearty breakfast, a delicious packed lunch to take adventuring, après hike and a four-course, exquisite dinner crafted with local seasonal ingredients. 

As The Lodge welcomes guests from all over the world, you can get to know your fellow adventurers. Compare stories over an après-hike drink before dinner in the Elkhorn dining room, and while you’re at it, learn about the unique history of The Lodge under mountain pioneering legend Jimmy Simpson.
