Stand on the narrow pass and catch your breath - only to lose it to the spectacular view. Rugged Canadian Rocky Mountains, brilliant white glaciers and a lone rocky hut. It’s a daunting route past pristine lakes and up treacherous scree slopes or a technical mountaineering route with glacier travel, but a visit to the Abbot Pass Alpine Hut is a must for mountaineers and a triumph for hikers. Built by Swiss-born mountain guides using stone from the surrounding mountains in 1922, the rustic hut is your home for the night. Abbot Pass Refuge Cabin National Historic Site is administered by Parks Canada and operated by the Alpine Club of Canada.
