Chalet Bighorn, Revelstoke, Canada

Chalet Bighorn in Revelstoke offers a select group of lucky skiers the highest quality lodge accommodation in North America and arguably the best skiing terrain in the world, all accessed via your own private helicopter. The impressive timber framed lodge has been designed with 'wow' factor and guest comfort in mind. The triple height 'great room' is the perfect place to relax before and after dinner with fantastic views and a huge wood burning fireplace.

The Chalet Bighorn is just a one minute drive away from the base lifts of Revelstoke Mountain Resort and 10 minutes' drive from the centre of the old town. It is possible to ski in ski out of the chalet if there's enough snow and certainly it's possible to walk to the lifts although most guests prefer to be chauffeured of course. It is possible to cat ski from the bottom of the main lifts as well as go snowmobiling.

The quality of your chef prepared food is of the highest order. Dinners can be taken in the dining room or for a more informal setting at the kitchen bar where you can sit and watch the master of the kitchen at work on the teppanyaki grill. As well as eight well-appointed guest bedrooms (each with luxury en-suite facilities) there are wonderful spa facilities and a proper cinema room with large screen.

To accompany this sumptuous property, expect exquisite, discreet service from unobtrusive and informed staff. Choice and flexibility are the bedrock of the Chalet Bighorn product. The lodge manager will create a bespoke itinerary for your stay whether you are looking for complete relaxation with spa treatments and personal yoga instruction, or an action-packed adventure with the heli-ski operation. Whichever holiday style you choose a stay at Chalet Bighorn will give you a once-in-a-lifetime escape.

Revelstoke in British Columbia is right in the heart of the best heli-skiing territory of North America. For over 60 years the Selkirk and Monashee mountain ranges have been a mecca for heli-skiers searching the lightest, driest and deepest powder snow on the planet. If the weather closes in and the helicopter cannot fly then there is the best cat skiing in the world to enjoy - South Bowl, Montana Bowl and Kokanee Bowl offer the largest vertical drop in the whole of North America.
